I did all of my homework, yet still coming up short. Having a VERY hard time find a good set of ceramic brake pads for MY08 Cayenne Turbo due to the upgraded stock brakes on this MY.

I wanted to go with Hawk, whereas they list 2 different pad numbers as compatible. However, both were not compatible

Of the two threads I found that were related, both people aborted their search and put on the much more expensive / non-ceramic OEM pads. Stock Part # 955.351.939.62 .

I have a new set of stainless steel brake lines, Castrol SRF brake fluid, and a Motive Brake Flush System just waiting for this to get sorted out.

Does anyone know if any good options (besides OEM) for the 368mm rotors standards on the 08-10 Cayenne Turbos?

Note: These are the bottom-mount pads for the red calipers. Minimum 18" wheel clearance.

Update: Aftermarket pads are available from EBC and Carbotech. Part numbers can be found here for all options found in US.

Correct Pad Shape - 368mm



368mm rotors and caliper

 

Have you checked here?

I replaced mine recently with OEM , 484.33 at Sunset Porsche in Oregon... parts numbers

 

Which Hawk part numbers are conflicting with the compatibility? We have a wider selection than the two found HERE.

After more investigating, it looks like EBC would be a good bet for what you are looking for...




Let me know if you have any questions

 

Thanks guys...

I got my answer on another P-car board. Long story, short - the MY08 Cayenne Turbo has a different brake size than any other MY. This is the only model with 368mm front rotors and calipers (in MY09 they upgraded to the 380mm standard), so most catalogs are wrong.

The only other correct option (that I found, at this time) to the OEM (Pagid) compound is the EBC Yellowstuff compound (much to "ECS Tuning - Porsche" credit). They have been on order for about 1.5 weeks now, but are finally on their way

Since there is a good chance they will perform better and much cheaper than OEM, I decided to give them a shot.

Edit - Ended up going with Carbotech.

Here are the part numbers for anyone else in my situation:

Front Pads:

Porsche Part # 955.351.939.63
Pagid Part # T1798
EBC Yellowstuff Part # DP41835R
Carbotech Part# CT1349

Rear Pads:

Porsche Part # 955.352.939.63
Pagid Part # T1863
EBC Yellowstuff Part # DP41836R
Carbotech Part# CT1350

 

Cheers brother. You did great thing.

I ve been looking for decent pads since last year. Porsche did silly thing on our car. pads shape 368mm is really not common. Last week, my pads had reached the limit. I had them replaced at my local dealer. Front pair USD650 (inc labor)

I wish I could often check up this site, so I won't be ripped off by the bloody dealer.

 

Ouch...sorry to hear that. At least you are now informed and have a few options. I ended up going with Carbotech brakes since I was convinced that it was the best option, although definitely the most expensive (Thread updated with part numbers).

Hopeful this will help out other MY08 CTT owners as well.

 

I need help guys....2008 turbo and I'm trying to change brake pads. I could not find a guide for the weird 368mm rotor. I got as far as unbolting the 21mm hex bolts but then got stuck! The caliper will not budge at this point. There s no visible guide pin to take out...is there anything else I'm missing??

Help is much appreciated!
