What should I be paying for a set of Textar front brake pads for a 993TT? And where to get them from?

Cheers

have a look here..

www.eurocarparts.co.uk/

don't forget the anti squal spiders to go on the back of the pads if you don't want the noise...they also stock them and come in porsche parts bags....no affiliation etc...

Excellent, thanks guys!!!!

These should help my Volvo stop a little better.

Out of curiosity, how many of those dampening discs come in each pack? I assume I need 4 of the 36mm and also 4 of the 44mm.

Just been to GSF and they can get pads in for £30, they arent Textar though, not sure what make they are tbh. Would you trust them on your Porsche?

Absolutely they have to pass standards tests.

Pads are cheaper than nose cones

I get my textar from eurocarparts - I paid from memory £180 for two sets of fronts and one set of rears. I don't bother with the spiders as they are quite anyway or wires as they melt.

I have a spare set of Jurid pads just bought by mistake.

The calipers I was sold are not big Reds! They are S4 ones.

Let us know if you need them?
