This Rear Brake Disc and Brake Pads Package is a complete rear-axle braking solution designed for Porsche Panamera (971) models equipped with standard (non-PCCB) steel brakes. The kit includes genuine rear brake discs, brake pads, and the required wear-sensor component, delivering a full restoration of factory braking performance, quiet operation, and optimal safety.
Fits:
- Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid V6 2.9L 4WD 2017-20
- Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid V6 2.9L 4WD Executive 2017-20
- Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid 2.9L Twin-Turbo V6 Sport Turismo 2017-20

What This Product Does:
- Replaces worn or scored rear brake discs with fresh rotors. These provide flat, true braking surfaces and proper thickness for correct pad contact.
- Installs new rear brake pads with full friction material — restoring braking bite, consistent friction, and optimal pad/rotor interaction.
- Replaces or includes needed wear sensors / monitoring hardware so the car’s brake pad wear system continues to alert you properly.
- Restores stopping power, brake balance (especially important on 971 Panamera due to rear weight load), pedal feel, reduces noise, vibration, and prevents rear-end braking issues.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Squealing or squeaking noises when braking from the rear axle — often surface-contact or pad wear indicator contacting rotor.
- Grinding or scraping sounds under braking — likely pads worn past safe thickness or rotor surface damaged.
- Brake pedal vibration or pulsation, particularly felt through the rear (or overall) if rotors are warped or uneven.
- Reduced braking power or longer stopping distances — rear brakes doing less work than they should, upsetting brake balance.
- Soft or spongy brake pedal especially after repeated heavy braking (may indicate heat-soak, worn components).
- Brake pad wear warning light triggered (if wear sensor is included and has been activated).
- Visible rotor damage — deep grooves, heat-spots (blueing), cracks, excessive lip on rotor edge, or rotor thickness below minimum spec.
- Vehicle pulling to one side under braking, especially from rear-axle imbalance.
- Excessive brake dust or uneven pad wear on rear wheels — signs of uneven friction or braking load.
- Safety and Performance: The rear brakes contribute significantly to overall braking stability and vehicle control, especially on performance vehicles like the Panamera. Fresh rotors and pads restore full braking capability.
- Balanced Braking: Matched new components ensure the rear works in harmony with the front axle — maintaining correct brake bias and avoiding rear-end instabilities.
- Prevention of Further Damage: Worn pads damage rotor surfaces; damaged rotors cause uneven pad wear and possible pedal vibration. Replacing together avoids cascading damage.
- Reduced Noise / Vibration: Proper rotors and pads eliminate brake squeal, judder, and pedal vibration — improving ride quality.
- Correct Wear Monitoring: Including new sensors/hardware ensures the pad-wear system functions correctly, preventing unexpectedly worn pads.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Since brake system labour is significant, doing a complete kit once reduces repeated labour and ensures the system is restored comprehensively.
- Vehicle Value and Reliability: Keeping braking hardware fresh supports the long-term reliability and resale value of a premium vehicle like the Panamera.
