I've had all kinds of various problems... new pads squeeking, etc... When I'm ready I'll spend the extra money and buy em from Porsche. __________________ Chris Dennis, Plano, Texas '07 Boxster, arctic silver, Tiptronic, 106k miles, no mods ‘13 Boxster S, black on black, PDK, 27k miles, garage queen ‘66 Mooney M20E, hangar queen

Look at the Benz' and the Audi's... all have dirty front rims. __________________ My Porsche mechanic drives a Saturn. '98 Artic Silver w/ Tip

Bimmers, too. I thought it was a badge of honor.
