Porsche 996 Brembo BBK Conversion Install

[Thonas]

Does anyone have the part number for the ceramic pads (ie quietest) front pads? Sounds like swapping pads would do the trick. Most e46 m3 race cars I have heard are quieter than my current set up!! Thanks for all the suggestions!!

Are these the correct pads?

My front pads are the brembos and they squeal like a stuck pig right before you come to a stop at slow speed when hot. I too don’t care about dust since I usually detail it once a week, but the squeal is irritating. Is there a pad that squeals less?

My problem was as you described but at the rear. What I told you is how I fixed it. I did not even use any grease.

my fronts are BMW Performance calipers with Textar pads also and they dont squeal at all. So different setup.

what Brembo pads you are using? Not all pads are equal. Are you using the ceramic ones? But by the sound of it they are metallic, and without some insulation they will squeal. My front textar brake pads also have a plate with rubber so I am sure that is why the dont squeal.

I had this issue on the rears with Textar (Porsche) brake pads. I solved it by using the dampening pad of a set of ceramic brembo brake pads I had laying around. These Brembo brake pads have a backing pad made of metal but “wrap” with a rubber layer, and since they just glue and attach with metal tabs, they could be transferred to my Textars and they are now completely silent

if you look up brembo ceramic brake pads, the red color piece is what I call the dampening “pad”.

i hated the ceramic brembos, low bite, less brake power, and yes, no dust, but I want brakes that perform more than dust, just wash the car more often.

I’m hoping someone has a fix for this issue. I just installed my 996 brembo brakes and my fronts squeal like a stuck pig. I just removed, lubed and reinstalled everything and it still squeals. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Would like some pad recommendations for this setup. Ideally that are quiet for daily street use. Thanks.

I run Akebono EuroCeramics for my street driven car. Initial bite is inferior to the Porsche pads but they are quiet and produce a lot less dust.

I removed my dampers, felt they were making noise and not letting the pads move naturally. You'll get a loud knocking sound without the dampers, but all else seemed to behave better to me without, and they're heavy. They squeal a little when they're hot hot, at low speeds coming to a stop.

that is exactly what mine do, squeal when hot and slow speeds. mine sound like a stuck pig, super loud.

Are you running dampeners?

Yes, all new dampeners.

2021 New Year Resolution: I will refinish and install mine this year!

So this set up works by creating a circuit and ware occurs it warns us when the circuit is broken? so just connecting the wires will keep the light off? Thanks

That install is super clean but do we have to have a pad sensor? I have never waited long enough to have a pad sensor sense for me. Cant we just cut and remove it or am I missing something?

You can just short it if you don't want the sensor or idiot light.

Personally, I love having pad wear sensors and am doing the same as above.
