[s-cars] big reds still feel soft

[Theodore Chen]

tip from a porsche mechanic: put some antiseize on the pad-retaining pins in the calipers to reduce/eliminate the squeal.

works for me.

-t.

Forrest,

Seems every BBK (or maybe pad?) may be unique. I originally had a kit  
(ECS Stage II, since the cracked bracket affair now with steel RS2  
brackets) that came with the Hawks. Mine squealed like stuck pigs. My  
boss was embarrassed to drive with me. I tried all sorts of things to  
make the Hawks work. On advice from listers I tried the OEM Porsche  
fitted Textars for the 993TT and they were like magic. I got an  
occasional squeal, but nothing like the Hawk HPS's. Others, with the  
same kit from the same source had reported no noise problem with the  
Hawks. Go figure.

Good Luck,

Manny
95.5 UrS6 Avant

had my big reds rebuilt cause they were sticking an dsoft.
replaced pads with Hawk HPS and rotors and caliper brackets and bled  
the brakes, super blue fluid is only 3 months old.
pedal feel is still soft, the brakes feel lousy.   if I press it  
twice quickly the feel is much more firm and the car stops  stronger
not loosing any fluid that I can tell, what do I do from here?  and   
also these damn things still squeal like pigs at all times wether it  
hard or soft braking:(
