Mine are crusted on there so I'm going to need to have them drilled out and get new ones. Is there somewhere I can order a set of 4? I'm guessing the dealer?

yep, that's where i got mine. i used anti-sieze compound on the threads to keep them from getting stuck.

Yeah, the dust shield was touching the brake rotor, so when I make a left hand turns it squeaks. A guy locally helped me cut away some of it but we couldn't get to the whole shield without taking the rotor off. It's in there really tight but needs to go.

I went ahead and ordered them from the local Porsche dealer, they were like a $1.70 a piece. It's just sometimes easier for me to order them online and have them shipped to my house. Thanks!

They are a standard size metric screw. Did you consider a hardware store. This is where I got mine, and they were alot less than $1.70 @.

Ditto on that. seems i am getting things shipped to me rather that driving around town to find them.
