Porsche Cayenne Brakes – It’s Brake Time!

By Tom on Tuesday, May 7, 2024

Whichever model of Porsche Cayenne you drive – and there are three generations to choose from – it’s a big car. A heavy unit, weighing up to two tons, which can reach 60mph in under four seconds, takes a lot of stopping. So, when you press the pedal, it had better work. We can make you safe, and not sorry. Take a look below at our top list for Porsche Cayenne brakes upgrades and replacements.

Standard Issue Replacements.

Any machine is only as good as its weakest component and Porsche take great care to ensure every Cayenne model and mark has none. But ultimately, wear and tear will take a toll but any like for like swap will be as good as what was there. Design 911 only stock quality components such as Genuine Porsche, OE Match Classic and Textar, among others.

The Whole Kit and Caboodle.

The simple, and cost-effective way to pitch perfect braking is to renew discs and pads simultaneously. If you’re rolling a Cayenne 955 V6 3.2L, this package takes care of the front while we cover rear only pads and discs, and Cayenne disc/pad packages, right here.

Hose Sorry Now?

Could be you if you skip this para. As we’ve established, the Porsche Cayenne is a big unit and travels at speed. This makes brake hoses your flexible friend, connecting pipes and brakes, while keeping hydraulic pressure to wheel cylinders and brake calipers.

Shoes, you lose.

Dropping anchor on a 2,000-pound Porsche Cayenne is no mean feat and when it’s stopped, you want it stopped until you’re ready to roll again. Our brake shoes and shoe fitting kit ensures total control over your Porsche Cayenne 955 MK1 and MK2, and 957.

Understatement alert!

As Porsche themselves describe the role of the replacement ABS Speed Sensors for the MK1 955 and MK 2 957 Cayenne models, an ABS sensor failure means speed information isn’t getting to auxiliary systems and failure “has a considerable negative effect on safety”. Think positive. Replacements are ready and waiting.

Design 911 – the Cable Guys

Drivers of both RHD and LHD Porsche Cayenne V6 models, which include MK1 Porsche 955 and MK2 957 Cayenne, will want to tick one potential MoT failure off the list by replacing the handbrake cable when needed. Here’s what you need.

Master the Brake Cylinder

Stopping a hunk of speeding Stuttgart steel demands a hydraulic braking system, and that needs the optimum quantity of brake fluid. It’s the pressure sensor’s job to find fluid problems and tell you about it. Or should. Not sure? Be sure.

Upgrade replacements.

Brembo make great brakes. True automotive innovators, they integrate artificial intelligence in their pioneering new intelligent braking system to deliver an optimum driving experience without compromising safety. A true upgrade opportunity.

Pads to be had!

The Porsche Cayenne V8 can really shift. Whether you’re driving the 4.5L 955 or 4.8L 957, MK1 or MK2, Brembo HP2 brake pads offer outstanding cold performance, a good bite, superior fading resistance, and friction stability in all conditions and low dust levels.

Drilled to Perfection.

Based on racing specs, with drilled or undrilled discs that stop a car as fast as the 957 Turbo (and fat red calipers that catch the eye) the Brembo GT Big Brake Kit looks the part and does the job, both front and rear. Meanwhile, EBC make more brake pads and brake discs than anyone else, and work for street or track. Find your Porsche here.
