You purchased a brand new cayenne and the brakes squealed right of the lot?

The hardware i'm speaking of are the clips that help pull the pads away from the rotors.
I always buy new hardware with a pad and rotor change. Not always needed but I do it as I hate squeaky brakes and mine are silent so it works from. I also make sure to bed the new brakes. Heat those pads and rotors till they almost melt then park the car without the parking brake on and don't I've it until they cool down 100%.

The brakes squealed within the first few thousand miles of purchase.

You're not braking hard enough.

Brake so your wife stomps on the passenger floor a few times - that will clear up the squealing.

Speaking of Cayenne brake jobs, when replacing the bolts on the front rotors, is the 104 lb/ft for a lubricated or dry bolt?

Why lubricate the bolts

Generally speaking whenever it states to replace the bolts, it's because you're torquing them to yield. You shouldn't need to lubricate the threads, but some copper anti-seize may help for the next you go in there.

I got my full brake change (rotors, pads, sensors, brake fluid, hardware including springs and bolts) at rmeuropean for a good price - I used pagid and textar pads. No squealing - used brake quiet grease on the moving parts. I have a 12 CTT - so 390mm is the correct size up front
