Big Brakes ...

I am currently running the EVO Club Sport kit http://www.evoms.com/porsche%20ec%20art%20test.htm
and am having issues with them. Performance wise they are GREAT!! The problem is they squeal like holy hell. Now I know that big brakes will make more noise but mine are rediculous. Todd is working on some pad shims to lessen this but who knows if that will even work and I am tired of waiting.

Any recomendations for a 6 piston brake kit that can be used for the street without that "fingernails on a chalkboard" sound?

What about a retro fit for the PCCBs?

My StopTechs do not make noise with street pads.

Have you already tried different pad compounds?

ColorChange, I have heard good things about Stop Tech.

Super D, Yes. I spoke with Todd and he told me there is no other pad that would work besides the two that we have tried.

For the kind of power your TT making, brembo 8 pots GTR kit will be a good choose. Or Even@fvd (AMG ETR) have a set of brembo 8 pots for sell last week for very good price!

Mana, my understanding is that the EVO brake kit uses the GT2 caliper. The EVO site mentions that they use these in conjunction with the factory pads. So is that what you're running or are you running different pads like Pagids?

Not sure. Up until now I have left this issue to EVO and my dealership. Todd is sending a different pad that should work today. Hopefully I'll have this all squared away in a day or two.

I certainly hope so. I don't see a reason why you should contemplate changing this set-up.

So do I. It's a great kit but the noise is making it difficult to enjoy. I am sure it will get worked out.

Hopefully they can get a softer compound pad for you. Street pads vs track pads type of deal.
