Not sure I've ever seen a German car that didn't arrive from factory with threadlocker on brake caliper mount screws. Mercedes all do, as did your 986.

This is the reason the official service procedures call for replacement of these screws rather than reuse ... so you get a screw with preapplied threadlocker. Think maybe the Porsche 986 versions may stretch as well ... so again, replace, don't reuse.
