what brand of pad did you find that fit? What year and model? Thanks!

Really happy to read that, Terry. I have had PCCB on a wonderful base 991.2 911 and on a terrific 718 GT4. Loved them on both cars.

God bless you,
Tom

I’ll reply back with parts information

Thanks. I meant “pad” of course, not “odd.”

I've got ~12K km on PowerStop Z23 (from Rock Auto) and love them. Much less brake dust, no squeaking or noise and stopping power seems about the same for normal/aggressive street and hwy driving.

The brand of pads i have on my 21 Macan GTS are from Centric. They are available through Tire Rack. I had the same brand on my 14 Cayenne GTS that i had installed at 17K miles and I traded that car this past February with 75K miles on it and they still had plenty of life left on them. Great overall experience!
The Centric's are quiet pads with good peddle feel. Brake dust is cut by 85-90% which was my 100% motivation to do this. Ironically the front pads are same for the 14 Cayenne GTS and the 21 Macan GTS, rears pads between the Cay & Mac are different.

I discussed this with the Tire Rack sales guy - When you search under '21 Macan GTS NO brake pads show up. If you search under 21 Macan S there is a option which shows the GTS/Turbo front pads (numbers below) and also a Hawk fitment (hb915z.664) for the rear. I ordered these both but the Hawks do not fit, it is totally different so their site is wrong for the rears. I called Hawk and they somehow figured out that the 2017 Audi Q5 3.0t Prestige uses the same pad as the Macan although never mentioned the pad sensor issue mentioned below.

Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic pads
Front - 105.13490

Rear - 105.13861
This part shows as a match for an Audi Q5. The ONLY difference to fit the Macan is that the low pad wear sensor cannot be used. I did not see this as an issue based on my long life experience with my cayenne so i am using them and will have them checked at every 10K service.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask away. Oh and they are cheap as hell - side bonus!

Does Powerstop make F/R pads to fit the Gen2 GTS?

Phil G.

Very useful post! The only downside for me is that the low pad sensor won’t work with them. Yes, I could have them checked every 10K miles, but my OCD might keep me from buying them.

I get it but based on my experience with the Cayenne and it’s additional weight, I don’t have any concerns. Not to mention, these are so inexpensive, have them checked at every 10k service and keep a spare pair on hand. The Porsche service writer could not believe how well they performed and lasted in the Cayenne for the 4 years they where on my car.

Pete see my PM. Can you post the specifics on where you got your pads? Thanks.

Tire Rack has them

thanks for this research. The brake dust on my 21 Macan GTS is also driving me crazy. I looked at tire rack but under 2022 Macan S which is basically the same as a 2021 GTS and checked the configurator on the 2022 S and brake and tire specs seem to be exactly the same as my 2021 GTS. Tire Rack now has Hawk Ceramics for this vehicle as follows:

• FRONT
• Manufacturer Part #: HB720Z.575
• Note: Front brake pads. GTS/Turbo 360mm Front Disc GTS 396mm Front Ceramic Disc
• REAR
• Manufacturer Part #: HB823Z.652
• Note: Rear brake pads. For Base and S models with 330mm iron Rear discs.

the part for rear is different than the one you noted so maybe these ones fit? Not sure about sensors for Hawks but I too would be concerned without them. Maybe someone will try these and repot back.
