PCCBs replaced...

Hate to be a thread jacker, but am I the only one who has the standard brakes (Red brakes) versus the ceramics (Yellow brakes) and they squeal at any stop? I mean I know that I was going to get a little brake squeal but this is to the point of people getting scared when I stop next to them it is so loud. I have tracked the car twice now and am wondering what it could possibly be, because I didn't expect it to be this loud. Any other takers for the extreme brake squeal.
PS Just for reference I power washed my brakes about a week ago to get all brake dust out to see if that was the issue, but it barely helped.

Theyre replacing the rotors...because they can?
I have no idea, and actually requested that they leave them alone but they are insisting they need to be replaced.
Problem is, the parts are backordered, and even if the stop sell goes away, my car will still be waiting for brake parts??

I have the standard red brakes and it also makes noise when i come to a stop. I haven't tracked it or done anything crazy in it. I do have over 2600 miles on them.

^^^^^^ When in Europe I also noticed my pads (steel discs) squealed a little, but it was a good thing as it was a sign I needed to wash my car. Once the wheels and car were washed the squealing went away for a little while. I attributed the squeal to brake dust but as Sam and others have said i suspect the compound is more track then road ready (as it says in the manual).

Mine squeal very little. The sound actually got quieter and less frequent after two track days. BTW, on M3 aftermarket Alcons with track-specific pagid pads do not squeal at all, while stock brakes with the same pads were unbearable. So it's not just the pad, it's also the caliper. Also, antisqueal goop compounds do work - put a little bit on all surfaces that touch the pad (except the rotor!) and the squeal goes away or get significantly quieter. Just use ceramic one if you track - others burn out at higher temperatures.

991 Turbo S - clicking PCCB
Lumber,
thanks very much for posting this notice it will be extremely useful. I have a new 991 turbo s and is making this noise already and only done 1500 miles.
Although it doesn't affect any performance its extremely annoying to have.
