In 2026, the Porsche Macan (95B/95C) brake systems remain a defining feature of the vehicle’s “performance SUV” identity. Porsche uses a color-coded hierarchy to indicate exactly which stopping technology is installed behind the wheels.

1. The Three Primary Systems

2. Technical Specifications by Model (2024–2026)

Macan Base / Macan T

• Front: 4-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers (Black).

• Discs: $345\text{mm}\times 30\text{mm}$ internally vented cast iron.

• Rear: Floating calipers with integrated electric parking brake ($330\text{mm}$ discs).

Macan S

• Front: 6-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers (Red or Silver).

• Discs: $350\text{mm}\times 34\text{mm}$ internally vented cast iron.

• Rear: $330\text{mm}$ internally vented discs.

Macan GTS / Turbo (ICE)

• Front: 6-piston calipers (Red). Note: PSCB with White calipers is often standard on high-spec GTS/Turbo.

• Discs: Standard: $360\text{mm}\times 36\text{mm}$. PSCB Upgrade: $390\text{mm}\times 38\text{mm}$.

• Rear: $356\text{mm}\times 28\text{mm}$ discs.

3. The PSCB Revolution (White Calipers)

The Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) is the most popular mid-tier upgrade in 2026.

• The Finish: The discs have a mirror-like finish that does not rust, even after the car sits in the rain.

• The Benefit: It solves the “dirty wheel” problem. Owners of 21″ wheels prefer this system because it keeps the inner barrels of the rims clean for weeks.

• Maintenance: You must use specialized PSCB-specific brake pads. Standard pads will ruin the tungsten carbide coating.

4. Part Numbers for Replacement (OEM)

If you are ordering components for a 2024–2026 Macan, ensure you match the PR-Code (Option Code) on your build sheet:

• Front Disc (GTS/Turbo 360mm): 95B615301J

• Front Disc (PSCB 390mm): 95B615301AA

• Front Caliper (GTS White – Left): 95B615123AA

• Standard Pads (S/GTS): 95B698151L

5. Essential Torque Specs

When performing a DIY brake service on the 95B/95C chassis:

• Wheel Bolts: $160\text{ Nm}$ ($118\text{ lb-ft}$).

• Front Caliper Bolts (S/GTS/Turbo): 30 Nm+90∘ (These are “stretch bolts” and should be replaced).

• Rear Caliper Bolts: $35\text{ Nm}$ ($26\text{ lb-ft}$).

Pro Tip: For the rear brakes, you cannot compress the piston manually. You must use a diagnostic tool (like PIWIS or VCDS) to put the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) into “Service Mode” to retract the motor.
