question on metallic pads
Hello,
I just had the pleasure to rest drive a RUF tuned and well taken cared of 90 C2. car drives great. However during slow drives along some boulevards or slow turns, I hear squeeks/squeels. the mechanic that went along with me said that it's the metallic pads that's installed. So it squeels eventhough the brakes are not applied?
thanks.

Probably shouldn't - if you're keen on the car - get an INDEPENDENT PPI by someone who really knows the 964's - had my bacon saved TWICE with PPI's!
Many pad compounds WILL squeal with light pressure - but only under light braking - hard braking should silent - but effective.
Brake squeal (IF that's what it is) without any pressure suggests the pads aren't flaoting in the calipers properly - requiring cleaning/replacement at least - calliper rebuild at most.
