hi, can anyone help with my poor braking performance on my 1986 944 turbo, just had new discs and pads and renewed fluid still no better, thanks mark.
 
How easy was it to slide the old pads out and the new pads in to the calliper?

These Brembo callipers suffer from 'plate lift', this means that the stainless steel plates that the pads slide on can lift away from the calliper causing them to pinch the pad and prevent proper movement. Places like www.rpmporsche.co.uk can overhaul the calliper for around £70
 
Just a thought, but is the braking performance definitely poor or is that you have to press the pedal hard? I am used to the brakes in my Subaru where gentle pressure produces reasonable braking. In comparison, I have to push the pedal much harder in the Porsche. Most modern cars have over-servoed brakes (in my opinion) and if this is what you are used to it may be misleading.
 
I agree that our cars seem to require more pedal pressure, but I also think that is due to our often original components and we just get used to them over time??
 
my brakes are definatly poor boardering on the dangerous, you can push the pedel through the floor but it does not stop any better, if only they were as good as my dodge, cheers mark.

Porsche brakes are not like that in fact no cars brakes are like that. What set up have you got? What pads?
