Description
xPorsche Front Brake Pads 355012721 - HELLA Pagid Front Axle Set
Brake pads are the single most safety-critical consumable on your Porsche, and the 355012721 front axle set from HELLA/Pagid is the brand many European workshops reach for when the factory pads are worn. Engineered as an OE-replacement compound for the front axle, it restores the sharp pedal response and consistent stopping power a Porsche needs. Available to order from European Auto Spares at AED 211.00, it is a quality aftermarket option for owners who want proven braking performance without dealership pricing.
What the Front Brake Pads Do
The front axle handles most of the braking load, so these pads clamp against the front brake discs to convert speed into controlled stopping force. The HELLA/Pagid compound is formulated to deliver a stable friction coefficient across temperature ranges, from cold morning starts to hot repeated braking. Chamfered pad edges and the prepared wear-warning contact location help keep operation quiet and let the car's monitoring system flag wear before the friction material runs out. On a performance vehicle, the wrong front pad produces fade, vibration, and long stopping distances.
Signs Your Front Pads Need Replacing
A dashboard brake-wear warning is the clearest signal, since this pad set is prepared for a wear warning contact. Listen for squealing or a metallic grinding sound during braking, which means the friction material is nearly gone. A longer pedal travel, pulsing through the pedal under braking, or the car pulling slightly to one side also point to worn or unevenly worn front pads. Because front pads wear faster than rears, technicians recommend checking them at every service interval rather than waiting for symptoms.
Why HELLA/Pagid Quality Matters for Brakes
HELLA and Pagid are long-standing European braking specialists, and their joint aftermarket line is built to match OE-replacement standards rather than chase the lowest price. For brakes, that difference is measurable in everyday driving: consistent bite when the pads are cold, resistance to fade in summer heat, and pad geometry that sits correctly in the caliper. Cheap unbranded pads can look identical in the box yet deliver uneven friction, noisy operation, and faster disc wear. Choosing a recognised friction brand for the front axle protects both your stopping distances and your discs.
Install Notes
Brake work should always be carried out by a qualified technician. The job involves removing the front wheels, retracting the caliper pistons, seating the new pads in the calipers, and reconnecting the wear warning contacts where fitted. Technicians should measure disc thickness and condition before fitting new pads, since worn or scored discs shorten pad life and cause vibration. Bed the pads in with gentle-to-moderate stops for the first few hundred kilometres.

Why Choose European Auto Spares
Correct Front-Axle Fitment, Not a Generic Shape
Brake pads are not interchangeable between axles or models. We verify your Porsche's VIN before dispatch so the 355012721 set matches your front calipers exactly. Ordering pads "that look right" is how cars end up with the wrong sweep area and a soft pedal.
Braking Confidence in UAE Heat
Summer temperatures and stop-start traffic punish brake compounds. An OE-series HELLA/Pagid pad is formulated for stable friction when the system runs hot, which matters far more here than on paper specifications. We will tell you honestly if your driving pattern calls for a different compound.
Brand Quality at Aftermarket Pricing
This is a premium aftermarket friction brand — not Porsche OE, and priced that way at AED 211.00. You get recognised European engineering without the dealership markup, with the honesty about what it is clearly stated on the page.
Complete the Brake Job Properly
Pads alone do not make a brake job. Our team can pair this set with the matching wear sensor and advise on disc inspection, so you only open the calipers once. One complete job beats two half-jobs.
Parts Support Before and After Ordering
Send us your VIN or a photo of the existing pads and we will confirm the application before you commit. If a part arrives damaged or incorrect due to our error, we will make it right under your UAE consumer rights.
Will This Fit Your Porsche?
Send us your complete VIN before ordering and our team will confirm that the 355012721 front pad set matches your exact Porsche model, year, and brake system. Porsche runs multiple brake configurations across the 911, Boxster, and Cayman ranges, and the correct pad depends on the caliper fitted at the factory. A quick VIN check takes minutes and removes the guesswork from a safety-critical part.
Complete the Job
Doing the front pads is the right time to review the rest of the braking system. Browse our Brake System Parts collection, check the Lamborghini Front Brake Pad Sensor to see how wear contacts are replaced elsewhere, compare with the Bentley Front Brake Pad for a fellow VAG-platform model, or match a rear-axle job with the Maserati Rear Brake Pads Kit.
Order the HELLA/Pagid 355012721 front brake pad set from European Auto Spares — quality aftermarket braking for your Porsche, VIN-verified before dispatch, at AED 211.00.
Fitment Details
xPorsche Front Brake Pad 355012721 Fitment
| Model | Application |
|---|---|
| Porsche 911 (997) | Front axle — cross-references OE 997 351 939 04 / 06 / 08 / 10 (per catalog listings) |
| Porsche Boxster | Front axle — per HELLA PAGID catalog application listing |
| Porsche Cayman | Front axle — per HELLA PAGID catalog application listing |
| Your Vehicle | VIN verification required — exact model year and caliper configuration to be confirmed before ordering |
Technician's Advisory: Model-year coverage is not fully verified in our catalog, so VIN confirmation is mandatory before ordering — Porsche runs multiple front brake configurations across these ranges. Fit to the front axle only; do not mix with pads of a different compound on the same axle. Connect the wear warning contacts where fitted, measure disc thickness before installing new pads, and bed the pads in with moderate stops for the first few hundred kilometres.
FAQs
xFrequently Asked Questions
The 355012721 is a HELLA/Pagid front axle disc brake pad set for Porsche. It clamps against the front brake discs to slow and stop the car, handling the majority of braking load. The semi-metallic OE-series compound gives stable friction and quiet operation, and the pads are prepared for a wear warning contact that alerts you before they run out.
Watch for the dashboard brake-wear warning, squealing or grinding noises when braking, longer pedal travel, pulsing through the pedal, or the car pulling to one side. Because front pads wear faster than rears, have them checked at every service. Never ignore a wear warning — driving on worn pads damages the brake discs and increases stopping distances.
This set is catalogued for the front axle of the Porsche 911 (997), Boxster, and Cayman, cross-referencing OE numbers 997 351 939 04/06/08/10. However, Porsche runs multiple brake configurations, so exact fitment depends on your model, year, and calipers. Send us your full VIN before ordering and our team will confirm the application for your car.
No. The 355012721 is a quality aftermarket part from HELLA/Pagid, the established European friction braking brands — not Porsche OE. It is engineered to OE-replacement standards for the front axle and is priced accordingly at AED 211.00. We never label aftermarket parts as genuine, and this distinction is stated clearly so you buy with full information.
This is a brand-new HELLA/Pagid part covered against manufacturing defects by the manufacturer's warranty terms, and your statutory consumer rights apply in the UAE. If the part arrives damaged or incorrect due to our error, we will replace or refund it. Confirm your VIN with us before fitting, as fitted brake pads cannot be resold as new.
