i got the big reds with Pagid blues and they really squeal like a school bus when i break does any of you have this problem??
You guys think with the anti-queal pads will help???

Thanks

You're clearly not braking aggressively enough. Wait until you're 40 feet from the intersection before braking. That WILL solve your problem.

I get squeal after driving aggressively and I lightly touch the brake approaching an intersection. The previous post is right, the harder you hit the pedal the squeal goes away. Normal driving does not produce squeal, but Im not sure which pads Im using....

my brakes are stock and they squeal like a little girl

I'm not familiar enough with Pagid Blues to say, but you probably know OEM Textars have a good reputation for being squeak-free. You can also be sure the holes and calipers are free of brake dust.

I have on my race car Pagids and they squeel like pigs till they warm up. On the track they are great once they get some heat in them and there is no squeel, but on the street you will never get enough heat to stop the squeeling...

I have a factory big red set up and they also squeel under light breaking. Part of the joys of 993 ownership.

Installed Pagids and new rotors that squealed like a pig. Swapped the Pagids for Textars from the Porsche dealership and now quiet as a sleeping baby.

My Pagid Orange track pads used to squeal like crazy. I switched to Hawk Blues for track and Textars for street and have enjoyed silence.

thanks for the info guys i will be getting textar asap.

I have pagids as well and they squeal like no other. Interestingly enough, like others said, they only squeal under light braking. Heavy braking produces no squeal.

Pagid Blue is a medium street/track pad and are much harder than the textars or OEM pagids. The will squeel unless you get them heated up. If you are tracking, stay w/the blues and switch out to others for street. If not tracking and you don't like the noise, go with OEM or the softer Pagids.

What is it that makes the squealing sound in a brake system, and how do the anti-squeal spiders or different types of pads, or bedding the pads eliminate the problem?

ron_dargenio

My understanding is that the squeal is caused by the brake pad backings vibrating against the pistons. Apparently harder race pads have this vibration especially under light braking.

My brakes are very loud; having just got the car two weeks ago I just decided to put stock pads on as I only drive on the street. Will let you know if this fixes the problem.

Also, I agree with the earlier post: it certainly helps to leave your braking for later and apply more pedal pressure; the brakes are quiet when using this technique.

Mine Squeak alot too. Told pads are good. Will do some threshold breaking soon to hopefully stop this.
