That's what my Boxster S does. Damn annoying. Then recently I bought a Carrera 4S and it does the same thing. Always seems to come from the passenger side rear on both cars. I just figure it's normal too. I've checked both cars, pads have plenty of life left in them and my rotors measured fine with a digital caliper. I'm not worried about the squeak, but it can be a little embarassing at times.

Heck if you've got a Les Schwab near you take the car there as they're doing free brake checks now. You don't have to be a Porsche dealer to tell if the rotors or pads are bad!
