Re: High Pitched Brake Squealing on 987s

To end this fuss, I ended up paying for my pads HKD 2780 rear pads and I had requested for my old pads to be extended to me for double checking at another brake specialist if need be. So far the car doesn't squeak. There's no vibration so it is unlikely that the brake disc is warped and the caliper seldom gives me problem so squeaking usually means that the pads are worn (but unlikely on mine at 7000km) but in any case, I had gotten myself new pads. Also put in 5 mm spacer set the difference is minimal. I wish they had the old 986 set on simply rear 14 mm but now I have 4 sets of 5 mm.

Loren, I repeatedly asked for an explanation and the answer was this:

Selected vehicles of Porsche would exemplify squeaky noises due to the materials of these racing stock brakes and we wrote to the factory and they said it was absolutely normal and safe.

Well, what can I say right? Let's hope it doesn't return.
