Love your videos. No muss no fuss, you get to the point and do it! Thanks for your contribution to making my cars better and cheaper!

[AHeatedMess]

Thanks for this upload, now I can finally install the brake kit on my Porsche it’s been driving nonstop

[lebaronking]

I love how you use your Jack Stands with the Quick Jack, great personal safety tip.

1:04 I absolutely love how you admitted you bought them mostly for visual reasons!😂 Keis better be paying you handsomely for your endorsement. Tommy your videos get better and better. You need your own sports car television show. Spectacular!

Awesome Tommy, the video production has come a long way from the early days. Super detailed. Not a step missed
Red callipers look better than the gray you had on before

[geoffrohrer]

Really good camera work and step by step. Thanks!

grease anywhere near the break assembly is a total no no. it tends to liquify as the heat increases and runs on the friction material. the used greases are usually heat resistant so burning them of the rotor is not that easy. on top of this the grease acts as a thermal paste, conducting heat from the pad to the calliper's pistons.

I think they recommended the perfect brake kit for you and your car because regular slotted rotors is good however J slotted rotors is better because the slotting is more aggressive giving a better pedal feel and has better performance. A must have with high performance brakes is good quality grippy wheels and quality performance brake pads.

Did you pre pump the brakes before bleeding to get some fluid into them and the pistons to touch the disc, or just crack on with the bleeding? Love your videos

Great video! Looking to do the same upgrade to my 17 991.2. Do you notice any squeaking with those pads/rotors?

[nunleyinsurance]

Hey Tommy..my 991.2 has rear steering, do you think that would cause a problem with this big brake upgrade?

[lcyyc]

This coming spring I will be getting a $100k+ car but I have been having a major dilemma. I am a Lexus fan boy so I want to get the LC 500 performance but I have also been looking at the 991. Naturally aspirated V8 vs H6 twin turbo.... tough choice for me

[DerekNYC]

we hope to see you at the track this season (even if you switched to team Stuttgart)

[andresmattos]

Would it be the same as doing it in a porsche 981? Thank you

[bajovujovic]

Did you lower the car? What suspension did you get?

[ericcarson]

So the weight of the brake kit is more than before?

[dockami]

Holy Schmok ))) Nice video! I really respect those who can do it with their own hands! But you did only first step of bed-in, AP Racing rotors needs the second (Temperature) part :)

[davjones]

LOL I was like is that a e46 m3 at 15:13 and then realized it was the one you test drove.
