Technical Data Wear Limit - BOXSTER S

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Depending on the wear of cast iron brake discs, two condition criteria can make replacement necessary:

  1. Cracking in the holed (perforated) brake disc friction plates is in an advanced state.
  2. Brake disc minimum thickness is not attained due to wear (material erosion due to friction).
