in street driving in my Cayman S.......

Placed them for track events at LRP, but didn't change for street use.....

Can anything be done to eliminate very annoying squeal or placing the stock pads is the only solution for street usage?

Thanks.....

Can anything be done to eliminate very annoying squeal NO or is replacing the stock pads is the only solution for street usage? YES

Back when I started with DE's is tried everything...even running the stock anti squeal shims. Nothing worked, it is the compound and how the pad is reacting to the rotor. Car company's work hard with pad manufactures to eliminate squeal with stock pads, hence the compound, weights on the pads and anti-squel shims.

Thank you fellows.....those were the quickest answers I got to any of my questions......ever......

On '87 911 with original rotors no squeal, street or track.

Different brake calipers, different animal.

...on the 964 they squeal like a little girl at a "twilight" premier...

Real men drive cars with brakes that squeal on the street and work on the track.

Pagid Orange are embarrasing to drive on the street. Stab the brakes at the stop lights to avoid the noise. Start shopping for a rear bumper

I will be placing the OEM pads on today and enjoy driving the Cayman again......

Thanks you all......

My oem squeel just the same..
I just can't brake hard enough anywhere to make it go away, so I leave R29's in for daily driving..

Thats strange I am amazed how quiet the Pagid Oranges are for street use on my BMW (996 calipers)..havent pulled them out from the last track event and they seem OK. The rear carbotechs on the other hand....jeez.

Same problem here (996TT with Pagid yellows). I just got used to it. People sure look at you funny at stoplights.

Just to make sure we all understand, do they just "squeal like a pig"? Or squeal like a stuck pig? I'd think the latter would be louder.

I think, instead of needing different pads on the street, you just need a different attitude. I love getting horrendous brake squeal coming up to intersections... and waving my arms while shouting, "No brakes!! Out of my way! No brakes!"

They just squeal loudly Van..........

I think I will leave the pig out of the equation, before animal activists get on my case........
