Default Brake Squeal Fixed!

Thought I would update everyone on my brake squeal fix. Removed calipers to repaint them black. Replaced the lines with stainless. Flushed and filled with Motul fluid. Replaced pads with porsche textar pads and greased the backs. Still breaking them in but the squeal is gone so far. Fingers crossed!

could the brake lines actually have been the cause?

Non porsche factory pads were the cause. I did the rest while in there.

I am currious, how long has it been since the squeal is gone? I used Textar and greased the backs too (even though I recall the shop manual said not to) and the squeal came back after a month, though not as bad as before. My next try is the Moly grease.

Just replaced everything. Less than 50 miles. Hope this works.
