Hey guys,I need a little info for a friend, if anybody knows.
Buddy of mine got talked into a 4 wheel brake job on a 2006 Cayenne turbo s. Not his usual type of work, but he does plenty of non-p car brakes, so he figured he could source the parts and handle it. Well, the parts he ordered off the net arrived and not only were clearly crap, but not even correct. His usual sources want a arm and a leg, so knowing I have some Porsche experience, he asked me if i knew a good source for good quality reasonably priced cayenne brake parts. Since i know less than nothing about such things, i thought I'd check with some folks I know who might. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Anybody suggest a good source for rotors for a 2006 cayenne turbo S. Anybody? Buehler? Buehler. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

If it has red calipers the rotors are 600 if it has any other calis they are 90.
check the VIN before quoting parts costs |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Pelican Parts seems to have all the major brands (Zimmerman, ATE) and OEM parts for reasonable prices. Rotors for example: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca..._pg3.htm#item10 I have always had positive results ordering parts from Pelican. |

I hope he's just trying to do the best he can for his customer. Boy I hope he didnt quote a total based on the wrong parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Check with Eric Shea at PMB. He will very likely know exactly what you need. He has a Cayenne and sells brake stuff. If he can help he may be able to match or beat Pelican.

A Turbo S has the two piece rotors. They are different than the standard Turbo and yes they are pricey.
