I need to put new brakes on my 911 Turbo.

Should I take it in?

I have done many break jobs on My mustangs but not sure if I should do this or not.

I have heard to go OEM new rotors and pads everytime. What do you guys think???

is it a big job bleeding these things after breaks are done??

Thanks

Why do you need new rotors? Lots of folks go with Pagid, Mintex, or EBC pads...depends on how you drive and what you want (quiet, less dust, performance...). Most are available in different colors for different characteristics.

Here is a good link for TT Brakes

Changing brakes on a Porsche is very

simple. Most of the work is getting the tire off an on.

In simple talk, you remove the pin, spread the pads

and install new ones. Put the pin back in

and put the tire back on.

I don't think anything is wrong with rotors. They DO NOT pulsate at all so I am not sure.

Should you turn your rotors everytime you do brakes? Caus he said she doesn't turn brakes just puts on brand new rotors...

Which brakes would be best for performance. I mostly just drive it around town but I drive pretty aggresive...

Usually the rotors are too thin - you need a micrometer to measure them and see if they are within spec.

Also look for cracks - if a crack goes between two vent holes - they need to be replaced.
