Maintenance Price Check
#16
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.

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...
