Brake pad vibration dampers


Recommended Posts

When ordering new pads, I learned that NON - S Boxsters do NOT use vibration dampers on front or rear brakes. But S models do. All the instructions that I have found for this procedure fail to mention this.

Oh, by the way, my 2001 NON-S Boxster, which I've owned for less that 2 yrs, has dampers, (just like an S) both front and back.

What have you experienced? I'm tempted to reinstall them since the brakes were always quiet with them. On the other hand, maybe I'll just hold on to them to install if my brakes squeal wih tthe new pads. There appears to be some kind of adhesive between the pads and vibration dampers. Does anyone know what to replace it with if necessary?

You can use S squeal dampers in non S brakes as well, the reason why your non S car have dampers was probably a squeal problem in the past. The adhesive is part of the dampers and already installed on the back side of new dampers.

The pads on the car were Brembo and Textar. Prone to squealing???

Carefully seperated from the old pads those dampers would be reusable if needed. They're not cheap! I would guess that there is a good substitute around to adhere them to new pads. Double sided tape product, adhesive spray, or paste-like product. Perhaps someone here knows what to use.
