Llew's 957 Cayenne

Thanks I did an interesting exercise pricing the OEM brake job. The price difference is eye watering. I decided to go with a sort of mid-range option (Hella/Pagid) and do front + rear just so I know I won't need to worry about brakes again for a while.

The worst comment I've seen about them talks about them wearing a little bit faster than OEM. For the price delta (basically all parts supplied and fitted for the same price as one front OEM rotor and wear sensor), I can live with it. I wouldn't hesitate to spend money on the 4C or M5 but for the Cayenne it makes no sense to be spending a significant % of the value of the vehicle on this.

On another note, I have too many bills at present

Disks and pads for it from Goldwagen is front and back with pads i think just shy of 10K.

My little big fuel leak is a 15k fix to replace the commonrails that cracked and the high pressure lines.

Not a terrible cost all things considered - there is probably some peace of mind that comes with it. Cafe 9 replaced all my vacuum lines when mine was there (when I had initially bought it) and there were many that were ready to visibly crack/give way and some were even already taped together.

I will report back on the brake situation - the parts should be here today.

Agree. Thomas is a acquaintance of mine and i trust his judgement on that.

Pretty happy so far - bedding in and will report back but first impressions are good.

I think the discs were definitely in dire need of changing and going front/rear was the right move.

The Hella Pagid finish and apparent quality seems good - doesn't seem like a budget part or job. There is no way you would say this entire job was the price of one OEM rotor...
