Rooose Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Just ordering a few parts for a rear brake change sometime during the winter. I am struggling however to find out if the 981 rears need ant vibration shims. Given the rears are the same setup as my old 987, I assumed they would be required but looking on PET - there is no mention of them. Has anybody changed the rears themselves? If so, could you let me know if the shims were there when changing? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooose Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks. They are fronts which are different to 987 brakes - the rears I am fairly certain are the same though which is why I wondering abut the shims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, good on that front, have the icarsoft v2. Not used it for a brake job yet so hoping it all works as it should! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
