So I work at a German auto shop and I went to order my first set of brakes for my 2002 Boxster S since I've bought it, and our parts supplier asked me if I needed a new set of Brake Pad Dampers. There are 4 in the front and 4 in the rear. And sadly, they are over $100 my cost for all 8.
Now he stressed concern that a lot of people have had pretty poor luck with trying to re-use the old ones. However he also added that for the price I could do the job with out the dampers, and in the result that they squeak, but a set and put them on.
However I would really not like to do the job twice, but he told me to ask you guys if any had opinions about them. So here i am. Any advice is appriciated.
Thanks a ton guy!
