I have used both Sebro and Zimmerman disks on older Porsches and was never really happy with either of them. I know they claim to be OEM, but I am sceptical that the aftermarket ones really are the same spec. Suffice to say I wouldn't use them on a CaymanORIGINAL: Buddy Likewise bleed first and check on what discs you have but most Cayman discs I've seen for sale are Sebro or Zimmerman again once OEM.
Unlikely to be this. The modern calipers are a different design, and as far as I know do not suffer from the dreaded "plate lift". I have changed the front pads in my Cayman and they were an easy fit, not like the older calipers which were a sod. I'd still bleed them first before I did anything else, and be aware there are two bleed nipples per caliper on the Caymans brakes, the rear nipple is none too obvious.ORIGINAL: Buddy Check next if pads are moving freely in the caliper slides, I have heard on earlier 4 pots of corrosion behind the slides lifting them and making the pads tight so if your pads are getting too hot could be getting tight, it means stripping the plates and getting them scraped down and repainted to prevent further corrosion then new plates. the securing screws can be a sod to shift.
