Porsche Brembo 996 BBK conversion

I agree, the DS2500's are loud! have you driven on track with them? Can they handle track duty without overheating?

They will fade slightly when pushed, and start to be consumed quickly. Also — wash that red dust off ASAP. It can be a pain to remove.

If you’re doing more than 1-2 track days a year, I would just run race pads. I’ve been down this road before.

I need an answer here too, I'm using DS2500 and they are INSANELY loud and horrible. I don't know if I'm missing some magic trick here to get them to even shut up a little bit.

I have rear Porsche calipers and used Textar, I had to use the rubberized backing plate from the brembo ceramics I had and it stopped the squealing completely. Textar pads make dust, but break very well with good feel, modulation and power.

If you are using CSL rotors front and rear the use TEX-2193702 and TEX-2332902 pads for front and rear. Both available on FCP Euro.

Thanks, I will give the textar pads a shot. Third time is a charm……

Do you happen to know the part number for those pads? Thanks

Stock Brembo and Akebono are neither ATE nor Textar. So I ask again, why not use OE Porsche pads?

I tried both stock Brembos and Akebono Brake Pads. Same result.

I know it sounds crazy, but check to see if the edge of your rotors are rubbing on the calipers when they get hot … check the calipers to see if any paint has rubbed off. You might need to add spacers to the brackets to get some additional clearance.

I checked. It close but has not touched.

Any reason to not try OE Textar or ATE pads? Yeah I get it they have more brake dust but historically they have no squeal issues.

Okay….. I did the following;

-removed pads
-removed shims
-applied anti- squeal lube to the back of the pads, allowing it to dry for 48 hours
-applied BG anti-squeal to the pads

Then I gave it a good test drive and as soon as the brakes got hot, Squeal city.


Does anyone know if this can be caused by a problem in the calipers? Pistons etc. I have never seen or had brakes make this much noise (excluding race pads).

I had squeaking issues too but I removed the shims and added break lube to the back of the break pads where the pistons make contact and the squeaking stopped. Hope this helps.

I’m almost ready to go back to stock. This mod makes me hate to drive this car.

So I’m coming back to the well again to see if anyone has any tips or tricks to eliminate or reduce front brake squeal when the brakes are hot (zero noise when cold). It is so loud that you cannot hear the radio and everyone stops to look to see where the horrible noise is coming from. I also have a Macan turbo which was referenced in the Porsche bulletin that was shared in this thread and the two sequels are worlds apart in both tone and volume with the Macan being very tolerable and in no way a nuisance. Thanks!

I have done,

-new shims
-coated all metal on metal pad to caliper surfaces with anti squeal coating
-moved from stock brembo pads to akebono ceramic pads (which claim zero noise)
