might just be brake dust... take the garden hose rinse the brakes/ wheels... my brakes squeal sometimes... rinsing them stops it every time.

just to do due-diligence here:
Your "break wear" light is NOT on - right ?

There is no "brake wear light" on... which is good. I called a VERY reputable Porsche service place here in Tampa and they told me that without even seeing it, they would most likely have to replace more than the brake pads, which I could see being very true.

A side note... the guy who is doing the work sounded very knowledgeable and he apparently has some sort of certification that only five people in the United States have. He was also German (I could tell by his accent). Haha, so that's pretty cool.

The place is Reeves Import Motorcars (Tampa), if anyone is curious or has had experience with them before.

Last update, I promise:

Got my rotors and brake pads changed. No more squeaking. Of course, I am about $1300 less rich. :'(

He said there was a huge "lip" on it which was causing the squeak and he couldn't believe the other Porsche dealer said that was normal.

ALSO, completely ironic... when I was giving him my address we found out that he lived in the EXACT SAME apartment as me. Pretty cool guy as well. Small world!

I'm glad you got your brakes sorted out, but I feel for you that you had to part with so much money in order to get there. But I bet the brakes feel great, don't they?

Enjoy your Boxster!
