MAYBE... I'll find a nice set of 996 brakes and swap....
Hi,

It's not my habit to recommend deviating from the Factory Service notes, especially where the Brakes are concerned.

But, if one were to clean up the springs and sand the pins smooth using # 600 sandpaper, then apply a good coat of paste wax to the pins, you'd probably be OK. Ask me how I know...wink...wink...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
