If you are not in a rush I would check Ebay each day. You'll get get most of that on there at good prices. Just might have a wait. Euro car parts were good for rotor arms for me. Might worth checking Berlyn out?

Bearings. Fronts are an automotive bearing & are best bought from OPC/GSF or similar. If you get them from ebay you may get Chinese ones & there crap! They not easy to fit so better to get the best you can so they last longer.
Brakes. Why????? The stock ones came from the 911. Fit braided steel flexi's & service them properly & there pretty good.
If you mean rubber trim which one??

Hi JJ.

Mainly the brakes are just a extra bit of safty, I think I read somewere the turbo can get from 0-80-0 in ten secs. It was just an idea 4 when the time came. 2 offset the cost of an upgrade 2 that of new pursche, if the right price deal was sourced. Also with 18" wheels red calilpers look all the more, pleasing.

Are the braid horse hard to fit? Which are the best or would you sirguest.

Rubber trim was just a head line, and all round rubber trim in general. Window scrapers is a must, look ok now but will look tatty against the new paint.

Thanks

Have BF goodrich on mine. Big improvement, Stops from 140 no worrys. (On track) Not timed it but you can get seat belt burns. Some guys like to fit harder pads but I'm still on Unipart at £7 an axle set. Fit new ones regular. You can paint your original calipers. Sure if you can get some 4 pots for real world money they will be better but they always sell for big money on ebay. Hardest bit of fitting is bleeding the thing afterwards. Porscheapart will do the window rubber. Or find the VW thats the same!! Like GSF do.

Rear Porsche decal about £29 Badge £7 ish Stone guard set about £65 from OPC, not sure about other bits but try them.

Use the proper 3M manufactured stone guards, the after market ones are rhubarb !

Been buying most my parts from Promax lately - good pricing and very knowledgeable. Genuine and OEM parts.

My discs are stock. Bought a full set new though. Used to be cheap from GSF but may be as cheap from OPC now with the exchange rate. Sebro & Zimmerman are the most common oem. Sebro being the ones most people like best. Did my lines over the pit but with the wheels off it shouldn't be too bad. ebay though others sell them. (Promax etc)
Your welcome mate!

Stone guard set of 6 is over £80 from OPC (+VAT)

Porscheshop make their own out of sticker back plastic..................say no more eh?

As long as they are OEM Scotch 3M they should be fine

OPC price on front discs is..................wait for it....................£159 each plus vat (£165 on the rears!!!)

Interesting, how much and what make were they?

I bought mine from ECP in April 2009. Make is ATE, cost was £57 including vat each (after the discount I get for asking) - they seem to stop me alright.
