I am fast approaching 60k miles on my 2005 997 C2S.
I replaced the front brake pads with Pagid from ECP, including new shims. This was over four years ago, at 40k miles.
Prior to this the car had original Porsche discs and brakes all round, none of which have ever been replaced. Never had any brake squeal.
Over the last few months I have noticed some brake squeal, obviously I am blaming the half-worn Pagid pads, but could be the worn front discs.
I am regretting ever going with Pagid.
Should I replace all the discs and pads with genuine Porsche now? There is another 10-20k miles left in the discs/pads, but all front and rear pads/discs will need changing next time.
Obviously I would rather not pay the premium for Porsche discs/pads, but I would rather have the car as it was designed, and also not happy about this brake squeal. New porsche pads/discs all round would give me another 40k miles.
