Introducing the Brembo HP2 Rear/Back Axle Disc Brake Pads Set for Porsche Panamera 970 & 971
The Porsche Panamera is a performance-focused luxury vehicle that demands precision, stability and confidence in every driving situation. Whether used for spirited road driving, long-distance touring or daily commuting, effective braking is essential for safety and driver satisfaction. The Brembo HP2 Rear/Back Axle Disc Brake Pads Set for Porsche Panamera 970 & 971 (including Sport Turismo) provides a high‑quality, OE‑equivalent solution engineered for drivers who want superior control, low dust output and quiet, refined braking performance. Certified to ECE R90 standards and built around Brembo’s respected HP2 friction compound, this pad kit delivers the stopping power Panamera owners expect.
What These Rear Brake Pads Do and Why They Matter
Brake pads play a crucial role in your vehicle’s overall braking system. Mounted on the calipers, they clamp down on the brake discs to convert kinetic energy into friction, slowing or stopping the vehicle. On a high‑performance model like the Panamera 970 or 971, brake components must handle significant heat, fast weight transfer and repeated use—all without fade or inconsistency.
The Brembo 07.B315.38 HP2 pad set is designed specifically for the rear axle of the Panamera platform, ensuring optimal braking balance and predictable behaviour. With a pad width of 187 mm, height of 30 mm and thickness of 16 mm, along with WVA reference 24554, these pads match factory specifications while offering meaningful improvements in pedal feel and reduction of brake dust.

Why Panamera Owners Benefit from This Upgrade
Panamera models, including the 970 and 971 Sport Turismo, are often driven by enthusiasts who expect a smooth yet responsive braking experience. While the factory brake pads are capable, they can produce noticeable dust, fade under repeated heavy braking, or feel slightly muted at the pedal. Brembo’s HP2 compound offers a refined alternative that maintains OE spec while elevating performance.
Customers and workshop professionals—such as the team at MJ Modifications—consistently report noticeable improvements immediately after installation. The pedal feels more responsive, stopping distances become more consistent and brake noise is minimal. For vehicles used regularly or exposed to mixed driving conditions, these pads provide peace of mind through dependable performance.
Practical Use Cases and Real‑World Advantages
This pad set is ideal for a wide range of Panamera owners. Daily commuters will appreciate the quiet engagement and reduced brake dust, making routine cleaning easier. Drivers undertaking long journeys will benefit from the pads’ thermal stability and fade resistance—useful during extended motorway travel or when carrying passengers and luggage.
Performance‑minded owners, especially of Panamera models like the 4.8 GTS, Turbo or 4.0 Turbo S E‑Hybrid, will enjoy the improved bite and modulation during spirited driving. The pads deliver confidence during repeated heavy braking, whether approaching roundabouts, tackling sweeping A‑roads or navigating hilly terrain.
