win911 - That is all forum talk. It is impossible as they are no different installing then factory lines. Nothing has to be tightened or checked. The hoses have flex just like a rubber line. You can twist, bend, and move them around. The difference is internally they use a teflon tube and then the steel braided wrap which prevents the line from expanding. The rubber line expands under pressure, that is where you lose brake pedal feel.

Yes the fluids are designed to allow the user to know when all the old fluids have passed. You can see here on my last brake job I used the BLUE.

Here are many parts people don't usually option for but I would recommend.

Caliper to Hub bolts
Sensors
shims
spring tension kits

I know they cost a few bucks more but why not, your there and besides you don't want to cheap out on this area of the car.

Yes, they are easy to remove, you are best to use a IMPACT SCREWDRIVER.... It's a screw-driver device which will twist while you hammer it down so you don't strip the small screws....



I'll also recommend replacing those....

Bought them for $0.70 each when I did mine from Richard at Pcars.... http://www.pcars.com/porsche_parts/s...-/p_33894.html

You'll need two per rotor....

it is recommended that drilled rotors not be turned. i have never had my drilled rotors turned, not sure if that can be done.

Yes, they can be turned but PORSCHE will tell you different..... of course! A new set just sells better than turning.....

Higher boiling point brakefluids (high performance) are more hygroscopic (means attracts water). It's the trade off. All high perf. fluids will need more frequent flushing (ATE, Motul, Castrol, etc.)

Stock fluids are a compromise of performance and long service life.
