^^^^^
very tempting....

Still need to confirm these would fit behind OEM BBS CH 19x8 et50 without spacers.

Also.. DaveB.. how much for a set of OEM 312mm discs with the centre bit machined out (the bit the porsche pad doesn't sweep) and with the hub painted black please.

[nadlad]

Yes they do fit mate

Hi Dave

A little bit cheaper here

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Porsche_911_3.6_2004/p/Car-Parts/Brakes/Brake-Friction/Brake-Pads/?101339140&1&22df71167343859f5639361dfd47d4b34da7660b&BKPA

The ECP branches tend to keep them in stock haggle for 15% your local porsche centre can also give you 20% if he's in the mood, they're a service item so they can help with the price.

The price ECP quote is the same price as Porsche Dealers so haggle away for quiet brakes!! PS same as the 996 Front so if you see them on ebay get em bought

Also if you use discount code "chat100" you get 25% off

Guys where does this clip come from?



I have refitted the standard clip but mine just sits in there and rattles a bit

[rich83]

That should be part of the brake hose kit that you buy.

Dave supplied them to me with the HEL hose kit 

[muckipup]

There are a few of these as refurb candidates on eBay at the moment at a reasonable price

...and it's partner for the other side being sold separately

Guys
Anyone got part numbers/or link for decent but reasonable pads and anti rattle shims for the porkers. Mine are Europarts and squeak like a trapped budgie. Driving me insane lol
Thank you
Matsu

Received them this morning from Dave. I guess you sent them Friday Dave but the delivery company did not stick to the next day delivery. Oh well it's a bit too late to fit these so I may have to modify them to fit to stop the hose from moving around. I'm not about to disconnect it all now....

What spacers do I need to clear the calipers using the stock 18" Pescara (Rockingham) wheels? Would 10mm be enough?

[rex]

Yes my friend... 10mm hubcentric ones preferably.
Usually 3mm it's enough (I heard) but I would take hubcentric spacers (which are greater than 8mm)

[Dan648v]

when i was running the nqsbbk behind the std ed30 pescara i ran a 5mm spacer and that was enough to clear the 986 boxster/cayman caliper 

if you want 8mm hubcentric spacers i just bought some H&R Trak spacers with longer bolts from Damian at DPM Performance, next day delivery

[keendean]

I have bbs 18" rz alloys. From reading, the definitive answer is a 3mm spacer on the front? Is it noticeable? Im going to need new longer bolts and a new locking wheel nut too.
Where is the cheapest,  best place to source these? Im trying to get costs together
