This weekend I put new brake pads and discs on all 4 wheels. I used Textar pads and Porsche caliper mounting bolts from Pelican and Meyle discs from eBay. I reglued the anti-squeal dampers to the backs of the brake pads with 3M 468MP Adhesive Transfer Tape, as I read on Rennlist that this is the original adhesive. This was my second set of front brakes and first set of rears. The last time I did the fronts I didn't reglue the dampers and they never squealed. All of the pads were worn down almost to the wear sensors, when I pulled the wear sensors out the thin layer of pad material over the sensor holes broke off, so it was just in the nick of time.
