- Improves overall braking performance: smoother engagement, reduced noise, less vibration, and improved pedal feel.
- Restores correct braking balance and stopping power for the front axle, which in most vehicles does the majority of the braking load.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Squealing or screeching noises when braking (often caused by worn pads or worn pad-to-rotor surfaces)
- Grinding or scraping noises (pads worn to backing plate or rotor damage)
- Pedal pulsation or steering-wheel vibration under braking (often due to warped or uneven rotors)
- Longer stopping distances or felt reduction in braking power or initial bite
- Soft or spongy brake pedal especially after repeated heavy braking or when hot
- Brake warning light triggered by pad wear sensor indicating pads are very thin or sensor is damaged
- Visible rotor issues: deep grooves, heat spots, blueing, excessive lip at edge of rotor, or rotor thickness below spec
- Vehicle pulls to one side when braking (indicating uneven pad/rotor wear or caliper/slide issue)
- Excessive brake dust or uneven pad wear on front wheels
- The front brakes deliver most of the stopping force. Worn pads/rotors or a failed wear sensor reduce your ability to stop effectively, compromising safety.
- New rotors and pads mean correct pad-to-rotor contact, effective friction, crisp pedal feel, and restored stopping power.
- If you leave worn pads on old rotors, the pads can score or damage the rotors; warping or damage of rotors accelerates pad wear and can lead to vibration, noise, or compromised braking. Replacing all major components together prevents cascading wear.
- Matched new rotors and pads reduce brake noise (squeal, chirp) and pedal/steering vibration due to uneven surfaces or worn hardware.
- Replacing the pad wear sensor ensures your braking system correctly tells you when pads need replacing. Ignoring a damaged sensor can leave you with dangerously thin pads and no warning.
- Accessing front brakes is labour-intensive (removing wheels, calipers, rotors). Doing pads, rotors, and sensors together means you only pay labour once and ensure all components have matched wear.
- For premium vehicles such as Porsche Boxster/Cayman, proper braking hardware maintains performance, driving feel, and resale value.

- Porsche 95B.1 Macan Turbo 3.6L V6 400Bhp 2014-18
This Rear Brake Disc and Brake Pads Package provides a complete quality braking overhaul for the rear axle of Porsche Macan (95B) models. The kit includes high-performance rear brake discs, premium rear brake pads, and the required fitment components, ensuring a balanced, smooth, and reliable braking experience.
Fits:
- Porsche 95B.1 Macan Turbo 3.6L V6 400Bhp 2014-18
Diagram Ref No 1, 8, 9
What This Product Does:
- Replace the rear brake discs/rotors, restoring a true, flat, even braking surface for the pads to clamp against.
- Replace the rear brake pads, which provide the friction material that presses onto the rotor to stop the vehicle.
- Potentially include wear sensors so the pad-wear monitoring system remains functional.
- Improve stopping performance, restore correct rear braking balance, reduce noise/vibration/pedal pulsation, and ensure rear brakes operate reliably under load and repeated stops.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Squealing or high-pitched noise when braking from the rear, especially under light braking (indicates worn pads or pad-to-rotor gap issues).
- Grinding or scraping noise from the rear wheels when braking (indicates extremely worn pads, possibly metal-on-metal contact or rotor damage).
- Brake pedal pulsation or vibration (especially if rotors are warped, uneven or heat-distressed).
- Longer stopping distances or rear braking weaker than front (which may cause imbalance or pulling to one side).
- Spongy or soft brake pedal feel when braking from higher speeds or repeated stops (heat soak or rotor/fade issues).
- Visible rotor damage or wear: grooves, cracks, blue-heat coloration, rotor thickness below spec, or excessive lip on edge of rotor face.
- Uneven pad wear on the rear axle or increased brake dust from the rear wheels.
- Car pulls or drifts during braking if one side’s rotor/pads are significantly worse than the other.
- Safety: Braking is a primary safety system. On a performance vehicle (especially) the rear brakes support stability, especially under heavy braking or dynamic driving. Worn rear brakes compromise stopping ability and can cause imbalance.
- Performance & Balance: Rear brake condition contributes to overall braking balance. Matching new rotor and pad ensures rear braking capability complements the front, delivering consistent pedal feel and stopping power.
- Preventing Further Damage: Worn pads can damage rotors (scoring, heat stress). Warped or damaged rotors will in turn degrade new pads quickly. Replacing both pads & discs together prevents this cascade of wear.
- Quiet & Smooth Operation: A fresh kit removes squealing, vibration, or pedal judder caused by degraded surfaces or mismatched wear.
- Cost-effectiveness: Since access to rear brakes still involves labour (wheel removal, caliper removal, rotor removal), doing a full kit at once avoids repeated disassembly and costs.
- Resale & Reliability: For premium brands like Porsche, maintaining braking hardware in top condition supports vehicle value, owner satisfaction, and reduces risk of warranty/inspection issues.
- Heat & Fade Resistance: Especially for driven/sporadic high-performance use, rear rotors and pads see significant thermal loads. Quality components keep braking reliable even under demanding conditions.
