I'm running the Porterfield R4S street pads front and rear (Boxster calipers and rotors up front, with widened 914 rear calipers and 20 mm vented and cross-drilled rotors), and they squeal like a Banshee! I'm running the anti-squeal shims and we've tried the Wurth anti-squeal treatment, but to no avail. Is there any tried and true cure for this malady or is this just par for the course with carbon-kevlar pads? |

I have the R4S pads at all four corners of both the 914 and my Carrera. I have had no squeaks or squeals at all. As they are street pads, there really isn't a warm up to work issue that I have noticed. They are simply the best brakes I have ever had on the car.
I used newly rebuilt calipers from PMB and sprayed the back with sticky anti-squeal. |
