My dealer also charges about $1300 for brakes. Parts alone are expensive. if you replace everything (which the dealer will typically do)... you're probably looking at $800 in parts alone. (going by the prices from suncoast)
brake pads $213 rotors $360 vibration dampers $100 spring kit $46 brake light sensor $70 You can get away with not replacing everything. But it just wouldn't be up to Porsche's standards for maintenance. You typically just need new rotors / pads / sensors. I find the sensors hard to save.... the plastic clips keep breaking. |

ok so the price is not too far off then...
|
Indy shop I use in Atlanta quoted me $800 per axle for brake pads and rotor replacement. Clutch around $1800.
|
Rotors, pins, sensors, dampers, pads, and an oil change ran me around $1200 from Indy here in Atlanta.
|
Has anyone replaced their clutch DIY yet?

Sean Freed at Freed Performance. I highly rcommend him. He also replaced a broken frunk latch, seat belt, and installed the Sharkwerks bypass pipes.

Sean runs a tight shop. He's a great guy to talk to and a great resource. I enjoy going by his shop just see what he's working on.

Finally got a decent quote for $695 and a $110 brake flush from a local indy. Thanks for the help everyone!

Too Much Money for Brakes...

Changing stock drilled rotors is 1 screw if I remember correctly. With a Motiv power bleeder, you can flush your system in about 30-45 minutes. Take the sensors and tie them back out of the way. They only come on when worn through and you should be looking at your brakes not relying on a sensor. Much better to buy from sponsors... |
This post is the exact reason why I DIY and only buy cars that I can work on.... It looks like standard dealer BS trying to rape the OP. :mad:
