Brake job question

[MiamiC70]

Getting ready to change out my front and rear brake pads (rotors are good) and I have a question. Do you have to replace the front & rear brake pad dampeners or do you re-use the ones on there?

If you want to make sure you do not get brake squeal - then replace them.

I would replace them. They are inexpensive (relatively). The rear ones require 30 mm (4 for both back calipers) and 28 mm (also 4 total). Don't forget to cange the pins and pad holders also.

Rotors, pads, pins, and dampers changed. Used Hawks HPS and removed the pad wear sensors. Also painted the calipers red with white PORSCHE decals. Usd Duplicolor spray caliper paint and painted them while still attached to the brake lines (using a small rope to support them while painting). Flawless look after applying the high temp clear. Hope the paint holds well. Little bit of squelling on one of the rear wheels Hope it stops
