Brembo OE 99-05 Porsche 911 Front Disc Brake Kit

OE-Level Front Brake Restoration for the 1999-2005 Porsche 911

The Brembo BREKT04280 is a complete front disc brake kit engineered for the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 (996 generation). Brembo is the original equipment brake supplier to Porsche, and the BREKT04280 delivers that same factory-grade engineering to the aftermarket in a single kit. The package includes two UV-coated, cross-drilled front rotors and a complete set of Prime NAO ceramic brake pads, giving the 911 front axle a full OE-matched brake service with no additional parts required.

Why the Porsche 911 996 Demands OE-Grade Brake Components

The 1999-2005 Porsche 911 is a rear-engine sports car with a distinctive brake bias and brake-by-wire characteristics on certain trims. Brake component quality directly affects pedal feel, stopping distance, and rotor longevity on a platform engineered to this level of precision. Brembo manufactures the BREKT04280 rotors from the same high-carbon cast iron alloy used on the Porsche production line, which delivers a higher vibration damping coefficient than standard grey iron and resists the thermal stress of repeated high-speed stops. The UV-coated, cross-drilled rotor design reduces heat buildup and provides a clean OE appearance. The included Prime NAO ceramic pads are low-dust, low-noise, and formulated for controlled all-temperature performance that complements the 911 platform.

Key Features

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 exacting standards used on the production line. The BREKT04280 is manufactured using the same materials and tolerances as the original Porsche 911 brake components, ensuring a factory-matched replacement with no compromise in pedal feel, stopping distance, or rotor longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

The BREKT04280 fits the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, and Carrera S (996 generation). Confirm your exact model year and trim before ordering, as rotor dimensions and caliper specifications vary across 911 variants.

Yes. The BREKT04280 is a complete front brake kit that includes two front rotors and a full set of front brake pads. All rotor fixing hardware is also included. No additional components are required for a complete front brake service.

All three kits fit the 1999-2005 Porsche 911 front axle but include different pad and rotor combinations. The BREKT04280 uses UV-coated cross-drilled rotors with Prime NAO ceramic pads. Verify the specific rotor diameter and pad friction code for your exact 911 trim when selecting between these kits.

Yes. The BREKT04280 rotors feature a factory cross-drilled pattern that reduces operating temperature by allowing hot gases and debris to escape from the braking surface. The UV coating protects the rotor during shipping and burns off cleanly during the initial bedding procedure.

Yes. Brembo is one of Porsche's primary OE brake suppliers and manufactures rotors and calipers for numerous Porsche production vehicles. The BREKT04280 uses the same high-carbon cast iron alloy and friction materials used on the Porsche 911 production line.

Yes. Perform 8 to 10 moderate stops from 40 mph, allowing the brakes to cool fully between each stop, before returning to aggressive or high-speed driving. Proper bedding ensures even pad material transfer onto the rotor surface, which maximizes stopping power and prevents uneven deposits that cause vibration.

Yes. The BREKT04280 rotors are dimensioned to OE specification and will fit under factory and OEM-equivalent 911 wheels without modification. They bolt directly to the factory caliper brackets with no spacers or adapters required.

Yes. Brembo OE replacement kits are backed by a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Contact your point of purchase for specific warranty terms and claim procedures.

Installation Instructions

1. Safely raise the vehicle on a lift or secure jack stands and remove the front wheels.
2. Remove the front brake caliper by unbolting the caliper mounting bolts. Hang the caliper without stressing the brake line.
3. Remove the caliper bracket bolts and set the bracket aside.
4. Remove the old front rotor. Use a rubber mallet if the rotor is stuck to the hub.
5. Clean the hub face thoroughly with a wire brush and brake cleaner before mounting the new rotor.
6. Install the new BREKT04280 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 NAO ceramic pads into the caliper carrier. Apply brake lubricant to the pad contact points only, not the friction surface.
9. Compress the front caliper piston using a brake pad spreader or C-clamp.
10. Reinstall the caliper over the new pads and torque caliper bolts to factory specification.
11. Reinstall the wheel and torque to Porsche factory specification.
12. Pump the brake pedal until firm before moving the vehicle. Check and top off brake fluid as needed.
13. Perform the full bedding procedure before high-speed or track use.
