  1. So I have been hearing a slight squeal when breaking intermittently for the past month or so. I figured it was the wear indicator, so I pulled my wheels to see how things looked and get an inventory of parts for a brake job. I have an 02 C4S which appears to have the same minimum requirements as listed above. My rotors are 32.75 mm front / 27.25 rear and the pads are a little over 6mm front / 8mm rear. Would you suggest doing front and rear? Just pads or pads and rotors all around? I picked up the car 2 years ago with 36k miles and it is now pushing 50k. This is my first brake job on the car, so I am not sure how much wear I should anticipate on the rotors before the pads are ready to be changed again, or how quickly the pads will go. I drive the car daily, but have not had it on the track to date :cursing: . I closely inspected all four rotors and do not see any hairline cracks which is another reason I am debating which way to go.... Do the dampers and caliper springs need to be replaced every time breaks are done? I know it is recommended, but just want to know if this is a real world necessity. I am leaning towards replacing everything but do not want to throw money away unnecessarily.
  2. Sorry guys, I did a search but did not find the thread you linked to. (I am sure this is the first time you have heard that :blush: ) Anyway in an attempt to repent, I took some pictures of the stamp on my 996 C4S. I assume the location of the stamp should be similar on any models where this is applicable. At first it was quite difficult to make out the stamp, but I rubbed the edge of the hat with a piece of chalk, rubbed it down with my finger, and it was clear enough to read and photograph. Hopefully this info will clear up questions for anyone wondering about other years and models. Feel free to move this post if it is not relevant, just trying to add some info.
  3. Is this information also stamped on the hat for a 996? Does anyone have a picture illustrating where this is stamped? I had my wheels off last night, and am trying to determine what needs to be replaced. I have an '02 C4s and the front pads are about 5mm the rear 8mm. The rotors were 32.5 mm front and 27 mm rear. The breaks have been making a squeaking noise for a few weeks now which sounded like the wear indicator, but now I am not sure. Does anyone have the specs for minimum pad wear / rotor thickness on an 02 C4S?
