Brembo OE 99-05 Porsche 911 Front Disc Brake Kit

Precision Front Braking for the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera Platform

The Brembo BREKT00733 is a complete front disc brake kit engineered for the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 (996 generation). As Porsche's OE brake supplier, Brembo brings the same production-line engineering to the BREKT00733 kit. The package includes two UV-coated, cross-drilled high-carbon front rotors and a complete set of Prime ceramic brake pads, delivering a direct-fit OE-matched front brake service in a single box.

Factory Engineering Behind the BREKT00733

Brembo manufactures these rotors from high-carbon cast iron, the same material specification used by Porsche on the factory assembly line. High-carbon iron has a significantly higher damping coefficient than standard grey iron, which reduces the vibration and noise common to worn or lower-quality rotor replacements on precision sports platforms like the 911. The UV-coated cross-drilled rotor design vents heat and gases during hard stops and matches the OE aesthetic of the 996 platform. The Prime ceramic pads included in the BREKT00733 deliver low dust, low noise braking performance with strong cold-bite and stable friction at elevated temperatures.

About Brembo

Brembo is the world's leading manufacturer of automotive braking systems and has been an OE supplier to Porsche for decades. Founded in 1961 in Bergamo, Italy, Brembo engineers every component to the same production-line standards used by Porsche. The BREKT00733 is manufactured with the same high-carbon rotor alloy and ceramic pad compounds as the factory Porsche 911 brake system, delivering a true OE-matched replacement with no performance compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Porsche 911 models does the BREKT00733 fit?

The BREKT00733 fits the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, and Carrera S (996 generation). Verify your exact model year and trim before ordering as rotor dimensions differ across 911 variants.

Does the BREKT00733 include rotors and pads together?

Yes. The BREKT00733 is a complete kit including two front rotors and a full set of front brake pads, plus all rotor fixing hardware. No additional parts are needed for a full front brake service.

How does the BREKT00733 differ from BREKT04280 and BREKT00732?

All three kits serve the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 front axle but include different pad and rotor specification combinations. The BREKT00733 uses UV-coated cross-drilled rotors with Prime ceramic pads. Check the rotor diameter and pad friction code against your specific 911 trim to confirm the correct kit.

What does UV coating on the rotors do?

The UV coating on the BREKT00733 rotors prevents surface corrosion during shipping and storage. It burns off completely during the initial brake bedding procedure and has no effect on braking performance once the rotors are in service.

Are ceramic pads better for the Porsche 911?

Prime ceramic pads produce significantly less brake dust than semi-metallic compounds, which keeps 911 wheels cleaner. They also operate more quietly and provide consistent friction from cold starts through sustained high-speed braking. For street and canyon use, ceramic pads are an ideal OE-replacement choice for the 996 platform.

Do I need to bed in the BREKT00733 pads and rotors?

Yes. Perform 8 to 10 moderate stops from 40 mph, allowing full cooling between each stop, before using the brakes aggressively. Proper bedding ensures even pad transfer onto the rotor surface and prevents vibration or noise during normal driving.

Will the BREKT00733 fit under factory Porsche 911 wheels?

Yes. The BREKT00733 is dimensioned to OE specification and bolts directly to the factory caliper brackets. No wheel spacers or adapters are required.

Does the BREKT00733 come with a warranty?

Yes. Brembo OE replacement kits carry a limited warranty on materials and workmanship. Contact your point of purchase for warranty claim procedures.

Installation Instructions

1. Safely raise the vehicle on a lift or jack stands and remove the front wheels.
2. Unbolt and remove the front brake caliper. Hang from a hook without stressing the brake line.
3. Remove the caliper bracket bolts and set the bracket aside.
4. Remove the old front rotor, using a rubber mallet if needed to free it from the hub.
5. Clean the hub face with a wire brush and brake cleaner before installation.
6. Install the new BREKT00733 front rotor onto the hub and secure temporarily with a lug nut.
7. Reinstall the caliper bracket and torque to Porsche factory specification.
8. Install the new Prime ceramic pads into the caliper carrier. Apply brake lubricant to pad contact points only.
9. Compress the front caliper piston using a brake pad spreader or C-clamp.
10. Reinstall the caliper and torque caliper bolts to factory specification.
11. Reinstall the wheel and torque to Porsche factory specification.
12. Pump the brake pedal until firm and check brake fluid level before driving.
13. Complete the full bedding procedure before spirited or track driving.
