WTB: 996 Centric Caliper Repair Kits

[Mayan-Viking]

I am looking for one front kit and one rear kit, PNs are 143.37013 and 143.37009 respectively.

Thanks!

These guys were my go-to when I was building 996 kits. A lot was out of stock during covid, but maybe have a look now.

Great resource. Never heard of them. Unfortunately they don't seem to have the required sizes in stock. I appreciate the input. Any luck on that E60/E92 search?

Ya I got an e90! I posted in the e9x section and the e46's "let's see your m3," but I'll make a journal thread soon.

I have an extra set of rear seals, if you're unable to locate any.

Ohio Performance Solutions is a great company to deal with. I had issues with a few of the seals I got from them and Mike sent me a free set and stayed in contact with me helping with questions on the install.

The owners are Mike and Steph. It turns out Mike is “Maruscmn” and Steph is “pOlar” from the old M3Forum. 😎

Ah no way!

The stoptech seals are kind of junk compared to the brembo seals in my experience. I got ~10 years of use out of brembo seals. Replaced them before they had an issue, for good measure, using the stoptech seals. Failed within a year. Rebuilt again, with brembo seals, no issue again.

Zeckhausen?: https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/i...88_878_893_895 Nevermind - out of stock there too.

Thanks, Tyler. Much appreciated. I might just have to take you up on that. Anyone have a spare front set lying around?

Looking for brembo rear seals too

How about Girodisc? That’s what I used on mine last year. Porsche guys on Rennlist had good things to say about them including people who track their cars. Half the price of Brembo so perhaps a good middle ground. No problems so far but I only have like 14 sessions on them. I didn’t have a lot of confidence in the centric or stoptech kits for track usage based on experiences posted both here and on Rennlist.

For my 996 calipers, I just bought OE Porsche seals— Which are made by brembo.

I used them too, but they appear to be out of stock as well.

To keep costs down, if splurging on OE porsche/brembo seals, you really only need to replace the inner seals, not the dustboots. Dustboots are just to keep debris out, they don't affect any function. I wouldn't buy new dustboots unless your original one(s) are badly torn.
