I get some brake squeal when backing up and braking. Need to do so to get the car into driveway/garage.

Your'e not driving it properly.

Or more precisely, you're not braking properly.

Stomp on those suckers every once in a while.

Mine squeal too. Normal per Porsche (wenn es quietscht, wenn es funktioniert) is what they would say, I am sure. Some of us have moderate speed traffic commuter drives so not much chance to wind up and slam on brakes.....

The 2 remedies most suggested are new brakes or a hard stomp. Going for a quick drive at 5am on a Sat or Sun seems like an easier fix than doing a complete brake job.

I will give this a try as my car is a daily in town commuter.
