attn loren, sticking brakes

[boxstermao]

sorry for posting on the 997 site (sheesh) anyway the brake pads and fluid are still original. the brakes were cleaned by the only porsche dealer in manila prior to my purchase of the car. the discs look shiny from the outer edge right down to the inner edge of the rotor. they work fine until as i mentioned in my previous post, i need to step on the gas a little bit more to get the car moving from a stop. where whould i start checking? TIA.

Shiny rotors are perfectly normal. To see if the brakes are binding, just jack up one wheel at a time and see how difficult it is to rotate the wheel. Slight rubbing is normal as there is no mechanism to pull the pads away from the rotor when the brake pedal is released.

i find my brakes shinier than usual. their appearance is somewhat highly polished for the lack of a better description (and photos). the wear on them are even but am a bit apprehensive because they seem like symptoms of sticking brakes but only when i come to a stop at lights or traffic. thanks for your responses.
