New discs and pads all round for my 997.2 C4S today. Happy to get my hands dirty and only took me about 1h45 mins for all 4 corners. Little nippy outside so had to wear my thermals however!

Sebro and Textar stuff.

Rich, is that an easy job to do ?

First time I've done them on a Porsche and I have to say it's easy if you're confident working on brakes/have done them on other cars in the past. Plus having the right tools to hand helps as well (impact driver, pin pinch etc).

I did my fronts on the weekend. Clearly I'm not as good with spanners as Rich. Took me about 4-5 hours as I have issues with getting the rotor screws out. Had to drill all 4 of them out which took up a lot more time. Without any issues it is straightforward through.

Yeah rusty screws etc will add on the time for sure. As my car is a low milage import, the screws came out without any problems and the discs just needed a gentle tap with a rubber hammer to pop them off. I'm no mechanic, but dabbled for years on my own cars so just learnt to research and be very methodical (and have the right tools!)

That looks first class. Nice choice of materials and colours.

Nice job, what do you think of the Kline?

Having only pootled around locally to the MOT centre and to my Indy for an oil service, I have yet to get the damn thing hot enough to give it the beans! However, it sounds promising with a nice rumble and already a marked improvement from the stock system so well happy :thumb:
