Squeaky Brakes -Porsche Cayenne

[930.engineering]

I agree with Char Baby and Trav, but I'd try using the brakes a little harder first.

Performance vehicles are meant to perform. Use the brakes gently and they will be noisy. Use them like you are supposed to and they will be much quieter. See it almost every day at BMW.

As Trav said, Textar, ATE, Pagid/Mintex or Jurid.
European vehicles in the huge majority come with pads of these manufacturers.
It could be any of them, and one manufacturer could make a pad for one model and another for another (BMW X5 E70 is Textar, 3 series E90 is Jurid for example when you getting OE BMW pad).

The Brembo HP2000 in brembo calipers is very quiet on my car.

The Ferodo DS2500 on the rear give off a light squeal and sometimes a groan. TRW mono piston calipers with handbrake mechanism

Thanks for all the reply’s. Will look into some of the suggestions. Will keep everyone updated

I have a buddy with 997 that I changed brakes on (rotors, pads, sensors, fluid), they started to squall a bit under a week later, turned out to be pads' retaining springs applying too much pressure and preventing pads from moving.

quietcasts are always paper thin from the start

you consistently get less pad for more money

Been looking at the pads suggested

is TRW also considered oem?

And control arms, etc.

The rear pads on my car were TRW from the factory. Fronts were Ferodo.

 

[jdw1222]

Ok. So would Trw be a good pad to go with or should I go with textar

Yes, most Minis, many BMWs and VWs use to come with TRW calipers, rotors and pads.

TRW formerly Girling/Lucas. Guess recently ZF acquired the brakes department of TRW.

IMO EBC or Hawk. Get them brakes braking, to hell with the noise!

 

[slacktide_bitog]

EBC Ultimax pads are a great choice

 

[jdw1222]

About to pull the trigger on some trw pads but came across a set brembo ceramic pads that had good reviews

Should I just stick with the Trw?

 

[partspro]

Listen to Trav, one point, you are never supposed to turn rotors on a Porsche

The Brembo ceramic pads are noisy IME

Ok, Went back and found the link from Trav- Will order the textar ones today.

I did have the rotors turned , so if this is an issue I will need to replace

If you are still above the minimum thickness after turning I would say you are fine.

I always do rotors + pads though.
