Test Values/Wear Limits - Boxster/Cayman
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2012 Porsche Cayman, 2012 Porsche Boxster, 2011 Porsche Cayman, 2011 Porsche Boxster, and 2010 Porsche Cayman. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Information
Depending on the wear of cast iron brake discs, two condition criteria can make replacement necessary:
- Cracking in the holed (perforated) brake disc friction plates is in an advanced state.
- Minimum brake disc thickness is not retained due to wear (material erosion due to friction).
