Best Brake Pads and Discs for Porsche Macan / Cayenne — Bangalore Buyer's Guide
Macan and Cayenne are heavy SUVs (2.0–2.4 tonnes) with serious brakes — 350–415 mm front discs depending on variant. Pad wear is faster than the 911 because there is more car to stop.

TL;DR — Our picks for Porsche Macan / Cayenne
Genuine Porsche pad set — Pagid / Textar friction inside.
Pagid or Textar OE-equivalent — same friction, better price.
ATE Ceramic for low-dust daily use, or Brembo HP2000 for spirited driving.
Why brake choice matters on this car
Macan S / GTS / Turbo and Cayenne S / GTS / Turbo use 6-piston front fixed calipers. Base Macan / Cayenne use 4-piston front calipers. PSCB and PCCB are options across the range.
In Bangalore, Cayenne owners report ~25–35k km on OE front pads. Macan is similar. The honest answer is "expect SUV-level pad wear, not 911-level" — and choose pads accordingly.
Recommended brake pads
Exact price depends on chassis number — share VIN on WhatsApp for a firm quote.
| Brand | Compound | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porsche (OE) ECE R90 | Low-met | Mixed | Factory friction. OE wear-sensor, full warranty. |
| Pagid OE-equivalent ECE R90 | Low-met | Mixed | Porsche OE supplier. Same pad, sensible price. |
| Textar ECE R90 | Low-met Epad | Mixed | OE supplier across Porsche / VW Group. Excellent everyday pad. |
| ATE Ceramic ECE R90 | NAO ceramic | Daily | Low-dust street pad. Slightly softer initial bite than OE — fine for SUV street use. |
| Brembo Sport HP2000 ECE R90 | Semi-met | Spirited | For owners who use the SUV like a sports car. Slight cold squeal. |
Recommended brake discs
| Brand | Type | OE dimension | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porsche (OE steel) | Plain | Macan 345–360 mm · Cayenne 350–415 mm | OE iron disc. Long life, quiet, expensive. |
| ATE Original Coated | Coated | OE diameter, anti-corrosion | Porsche / VW Group OE supplier. Coated finish for Indian weather. |
| Porsche PSCB (OE optional) | Coated | White calipers, tungsten-coated disc | Lower dust, longer disc life. PSCB-specific pads required. |
| Porsche PCCB (OE optional) | Plain | Carbon-ceramic | On indent. Pads are PCCB-specific. |
Common pitfalls on Porsche Macan / Cayenne
- Cayenne Coupé GTS / Turbo GT have larger discs than the regular Cayenne — confirm with chassis, not just by year.
- PSCB pads on standard steel discs damage the disc surface. Get the system right.
- Generic "ceramic" pads on a 2.4-tonne Cayenne reduce stopping power meaningfully. We do not recommend them.
- EPB needs PIWIS or VCDS for rear pad change.
What we need to quote the right brakes
We do not dispatch any brake part without first verifying the chassis number against the manufacturer catalogue — this is how we make sure the part that leaves our warehouse is the correct one for your car.
VIN / Chassis NumberRequired
17-character VIN from the windshield base, driver-side door jamb or RC book. Required — variants of the same model can use different brake parts.
Make, Model & YearRequired
For example: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212), 2014. Tells us which catalogue to check.
OE Part Number (if known)Bonus
Printed on the back-plate of the worn pad or on the disc edge — speeds up cross-reference and pricing.
Clear photo of the partBonus
A WhatsApp photo of the worn pad (back-plate side), disc edge and caliper helps confirm fitment for facelift / imported variants.
Every order is verified against your VIN / chassis number before dispatch, so a wrong-part shipment from our side is extremely rare. In the unlikely event that we ship a part that does not match the chassis number you shared, we will replace it at our cost. The only case where a return is not accepted is if the chassis / engine number itself was given incorrectly at the time of order — please double-check it from your RC book before confirming.
