Description
Swapping Out Your Porsche's Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit for your Porsche's braking. They're what the brake pads grip onto to slow you down. Over time, rotors can get worn, warped, or even crack, especially if you're giving it a bit of stick in your 911 or Boxster.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brake pedal feels like it's vibrating or pulsing
• Hear a squealing or grinding noise when you brake
• Taking longer to stop than usual
• Can see cracks or damage on the rotor itself
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
WOF Woes?
Worn or damaged brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. Make sure your rotors are thick enough and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, let's make sure you're set up for success. Safety first, always! Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep the grit out of your eyes, and a pair of heavy-duty nitrile gloves to keep those mitts clean. Brake dust is nasty stuff, so don't skimp on protection. And while you're at it, a can of brake cleaner is your best mate for blasting away all that carbon dust and grime. Don't forget a bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts to keep things smooth for next time.
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors are a no-brainer when it comes to safety and performance. Replacing them will keep your Porsche stopping like it should. RDA rotors are a good choice, but CARFIX has plenty of other options to match your budget and how you drive. Bob at CARFIX is always keen to help you figure out exactly what you need for your Porsche. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check that the new rotors are the right fit for your specific Porsche 911 or Boxster – model year and trim level matter. Look at the rotor diameter and thickness before you start bolting things on. Some models might need special tools to get the old rotors off.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
