Squeaky Brakes

[Bladecutter]

My '98 has never had squeaky brakes.
Not the original brakes that were on the car that set off the brake wear warning light and had one heck of a ridge on the rotors, nor the all new OEM pads and rotors that I installed on the car to replace the ones that came off.

What are the condition of the rotors, and what brand brake pads are you using on your car? The OEM stuff should be perfectly quiet. I'm using Zimmerman solid rotors front and rear, along with Textar pads, and I've done 2 track days at HPR on them over the past 8k miles.

OK, I think something needs replacing then, because they squeak louder when I press harder... if I do it lightly then I can kind of mask the noise, but it sucks having to drive with the feeling that you can't stop because of how loud and obnoxious the noise is. I'm going to take it in to a shop. Any authorized Porsche dealership should be good right? I'm in Tampa, FL.

I don't know any technical details about the situation or I would respond to your guys' questions. I appreciate the help though

No squeaks what so ever with the brakes on my '03 S. I had really squeaky brakes on my TR8 and it was fixed by simply replacing the brake pads.

I'd expect any Porsche Dealer to be able to replace the pads and resurface the discs on your Boxster. I'd expect it will cost a small fortune.
