This comprehensive parking brake service set bundles all critical handbrake/parking brake cables and mounting guides with a front handbrake shoe set for Porsche 911 (996) models. The handbrake cables and guide tubes precisely replace worn or stretched parking brake linkages, while the parking brake shoes renew the brake-shoe friction surfaces for reliable parking brake performance.
Fits:

This kit contains the essential parking brake (handbrake) mechanical components needed to service the rear parking brake system of Porsche 996 models. The set includes:
2 × OE Match Parking Brake Cables – Direct-fit replacements for the rear handbrake/parking brake cable on Porsche 996 models, restoring correct cable length, tension, and movement.
2 × OE Match Guide Tubes – Handbrake cable guide tubes that route the cables correctly through chassis/brake mounts and protect the cable from chafing. They match OE Porsche fitment.
1 × Brembo Handbrake Shoes – parking brake shoes provide the friction material that presses against the brake drum or parking brake surface to hold the car stationary. Renewing these shoes is critical for restoring proper braking force and safety.
Together, these parts address both the cable drive side and the friction braking side of the parking brake system in one set.
Handbrake cables and guide tubes are exposed to road debris, moisture, and corrosion, which can cause stretching, seizing, or loss of tension. This results in a weak or unreliable parking brake, which may not hold the vehicle safely on inclines or during emergency use. Renewing cables and guides restores precise lever feel and correct mechanical action.
Similarly, parking brake shoes wear down over time and lose friction effectiveness, leading to reduced braking performance and increased stopping distances when using the parking brake. Replacing these with quality Brembo shoes ensures consistent and secure parking brake action, helping maintain vehicle safety and compliance.
Replace this parking brake set if:
• Parking brake lever requires excessive travel before engagement.
• The vehicle rolls or creeps when parked on a slope.
• Handbrake cables show corrosion, fraying, or stiffness.
• Guide tubes are cracked or worn.
• Parking brake shoes are thin, glazed, or contaminated with brake fluid.
