Default "solution" to break squeal

I had new pads, rotors and sensors put on my 97 cab. I feared I woud get brake squeal. Mechanic used all OEM Porsche parts. No squeal. All I can say.

Solution is hose dust off calipers/dics with water every few outings or when you start to hear squeal, do a short drive and brake to dry em off before parking.

Taking them for a hard drive seems to help too.

I only get squeal when the brakes have been worked-out... Normal driving, no noise...I know their warm when their noisy!

Mine were quiet. After w healthy day on the track, they were unbearable the next few hundred miles. After a good "flushing" with water, etc....they have gradually quieted down again to a very light squeak at a gentle stop.

Thanks for the info on hosing them off. Didn't know that.

And mine get loud when I drive the car hard too.

After a day at the track they'll squeel for about 75 miles of stop and go driving unless I'm really "on them".
