Kits for Porsche
Design911 offers an extensive selection of package deals for Porsche parts, providing an ideal solution for Porsche enthusiasts looking to upgrade, maintain, or personalise their vehicles. These packages are thoughtfully curated to include complementary components, helping with compatibility and overall cost-effectiveness
A Quick Look at Kits
Kits information on this page is based on details supplied by the manufacturer or distributor, plus any OE references provided with the parts.
Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche
Where Kits are listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, axle or side, and any option codes or connector types where relevant.
- Typical reasons people choose kits include wanting all the right Porsche parts in one order, reducing the risk of missing seals, clips, or one-time-use fixings, and saving workshop time.
- Kits help ensure matched components (for example, brake refresh kits, service kits, or suspension refresh kits) so parts work together as intended.
- Common real-world triggers include repeated failures because a small supporting part was not replaced, mixed part revisions, or mismatched specification between components.
- If problems occur, they are often traced to incorrect vehicle selection, old core components not addressed, or installation shortcuts rather than the kit itself.
- Before you start work, compare the kit contents with the Porsche PET diagram and your job list so you know exactly what is included and what may still be needed.
- Always confirm whether kits are vehicle-specific, and check if bolts, clips, fluids, and other one-time-use hardware are included or need to be added separately.
Browse by Category
If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.
Brakes — Brake components are renewed to restore stopping performance, address wear or upgrade a Porsche for fast road or track use. Common symptoms include vibration under braking, increased stopping distances, squealing, pulling to one side, warning lights and visible wear to discs and pads.
- Check whether new fitting kits and wear sensors are included or should be added separately.
- Confirm if parts are OE-equivalent replacements or higher-friction performance upgrades before ordering.
Brake Pads Packages — Brake pad packages group matched front and rear sets, making it easier to renew all pads at once for consistent feel and balance across the axle. Worn pads can cause squealing, low pedal feel, longer stopping distances and may score discs if run down to the backing plates.
- Verify whether the package covers front, rear, or both axles and whether it is a standard or performance compound.
- Check the contents list for anti-squeal shims, hardware and any wear sensors you may want to replace at the same time.
Gearbox / Transmission — You change gearbox and transmission parts when you have shifting issues, noise, leaks, or you are refreshing a high-mileage drivetrain. It is also common during clutch upgrades or ratio changes. Typical symptoms include whining in a specific gear, crunching on shifts, or difficulty selecting gears, as well as leaks at seals or casing joints.
- Not all noise or poor shifting means the gearbox itself is failing—mounts, linkage, clutch, and oil condition can produce similar symptoms.
- Using the correct-spec gearbox oil and refreshing it is often a sensible first step before major work.
Service Parts — Service parts are replaced as routine maintenance to keep the engine and systems reliable, efficient, and protected. Doing this on schedule reduces wear, helps prevent breakdowns, and maintains performance—especially on older Porsche models where neglected servicing can quickly lead to costly repairs. Symptoms prompting attention include hard starting, rough idle, reduced fuel economy and poor throttle response.
- Both OEM and reputable aftermarket parts can be suitable—always match the correct specification for your Porsche.
- Keeping a clear service log helps diagnostics later and can support the car’s resale value.
Service Kits — Service kits bundle the correct parts for a routine Porsche service into one package, reducing ordering mistakes and ensuring you can reset the car to a known maintenance baseline. They are ideal when catching up on overdue work or planning regular servicing to a consistent standard. Symptoms leading to a full kit are often general, such as sluggish running, inconsistent idle, poor economy, or increased engine noise from old oil and filters.
- Service kits typically include filters and key consumables, but contents vary—check the list carefully and add any extra items you want to replace while access is good.
- Kits are usually specific to model, year and engine, so confirm these details before ordering.

What Does a Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul Kit Do?
A brake caliper overhaul kit replaces the critical wear components inside the caliper that naturally deteriorate over time. New piston seals restore hydraulic sealing, while fresh dust protection caps keep moisture, dirt and brake dust away from the pistons to ensure reliable operation.
The overhaul helps to:
- Restore smooth piston movement.
- Maintain correct hydraulic pressure.
- Prevent brake fluid leaks.
- Protect pistons against corrosion.
- Promote even rear brake pad wear.
- Improve braking consistency and pedal feel.
- Extend the service life of the original Brembo calipers.
Rebuilding the original calipers allows you to retain the factory Brembo braking system while restoring its original performance.
Why Do Rear Brake Calipers Need Rebuilding?
Rear brake calipers are continually exposed to heat,
moisture, road contamination and repeated braking cycles. Over time, internal
components naturally deteriorate. Common causes include:
- Heat generated during braking.
- Ageing and hardening of piston seals.
- Split or deteriorated dust caps.
- Moisture entering the caliper.
- Corrosion around the pistons.
- Contaminated brake fluid.
- Seized or sticking pistons.
- Worn bleed valves.
- High mileage and long-term use.
Ignoring worn seals can eventually result in sticking calipers, uneven brake pad wear, brake fluid leaks and reduced braking performance.
When Should the Rear Brake Calipers Be Overhauled?
A complete rebuild is recommended whenever:
Rear brake pistons become stiff or seize. Dust caps split or perish. Brake fluid leaks develop. Rear brake pads wear unevenly. The calipers are removed for refurbishment. During a complete brake system restoration. Preparing the vehicle for fast road or track use. As preventative maintenance on higher mileage vehicles.Rebuilding both rear calipers together ensures balanced braking performance across the rear axle.

What Does a Brake Caliper Overhaul Kit Do?
A brake caliper overhaul kit replaces the critical wear components inside the caliper, allowing it to function correctly and safely. New piston seals restore hydraulic sealing, while new dust caps protect the pistons from moisture, dirt and road debris.
The overhaul helps to:
- Restore smooth piston movement.
- Maintain correct hydraulic pressure.
- Prevent brake fluid leaks.
- Protect pistons from corrosion.
- Ensure even brake pad operation.
- Improve pedal feel and braking consistency.
- Extend the life of the original calipers.
A rebuilt caliper delivers braking performance much closer to factory condition while avoiding the cost of complete caliper replacement.
Why Do Brake Calipers Require Overhauling?
Brake calipers are continually exposed to heat, moisture and
contamination. Over time, internal components deteriorate. Common causes
include:
- Heat generated during repeated braking.
- Ageing and hardening of piston seals.
- Split or perished dust caps.
- Moisture entering the caliper.
- Corrosion around the pistons.
- Contaminated brake fluid.
- Seized or sticking pistons.
- Worn bleed valves.
- High mileage and long-term use.
Ignoring worn seals or damaged dust caps can eventually lead to uneven braking, fluid leaks and accelerated brake pad wear.
When Should a Brake Caliper Be Rebuilt?
A caliper overhaul is recommended whenever:
- Pistons begin sticking or seizing.
- Brake fluid leaks are present.
- Dust caps become cracked or damaged.
- Brake pads wear unevenly.
- The calipers are removed for refurbishment.
- During a complete brake system rebuild.
- Preparing the vehicle for fast road or track use.
- As preventative maintenance on older vehicles.
Rebuilding both front calipers together helps maintain balanced braking performance across the front axle.
