Squeeky Brakes

[jurichar]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and new to porsche, i just bought my first porsche a 01 996 cabriolet triple black. It's a beautiful beast and i think i'll be hard pressed to own another vehicle ever again.

Anway, i drove it home from california to michigan ~2700 miles and i've put about 1200 on since i've gotten it home. I've recently started to notice that when i push on the braked pedal at low speeds i get a noticable singing noise coming from the brakes. I dealership i bought it from said it had new brakes installed by a porsche dealership about 4k before i bought it. So its got approximately 8-9k miles on the "new" brakes. Any suggestions on this issue...are porsche brakes only good for that many miles, is ithis a normal occurance??? Forgive my ignorance if this is a really easy/stupid question!!!

Thanks in Advance!!

I had mine installed by dealer and pad is actual porsche/brembo. but it did start to squeeky after 3k miles.

Problem was vibration between pad and piston and you can use brake pad quieter or add liner.

Here is one from Automotion

Thanks!!!

Is the fix with either of those products a novice friendly procedure??? or should i have some one do it for me?
