Brakes Cost?

How much does it to replace the brakes (discs & pads) on a 991 S?

It's much easier to do than you would think. (I do it several times a year for track days.) If you're up for a couple hours straightforward work you may want to check the DIY's available. Check the Suncoast Porsche website to get acquainted with prices.

I agree.
I changed the plugs and all filters myself.
Amazed at how straight forward it was.
Gonna attempt this myself, after more than a few YouTube sessions, lol

How long do you guys let the engine cool before you do the plugs- 30 minutes?

I didn't think about that...as it turned out my car had not been on for a few days.
Since heat expands metal I would wait till it's completely room temp. so...say...24 hrs

I agree with elder tech. Let it cool completely down - as he mentioned there may be an expansion angle, but also then there is much less risk of inadvertently touching a surface that was hotter than expected.
