Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is clean and free of debris before installing the new pads. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or source new hardware separately. Verify compatibility with your Porsche 911 or Boxster model year before installation. Properly seat the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. If your vehicle uses pad wear sensors, install the sensors separately as these pads are prepared for sensor integration.
