Has anyone had any problems with brake noise from the 997 Gt3?

How about a loud squealing coming from the left rear? The local dealership tried to tell me this is normal for a high performance vehicle!?!?!?

You will find allot of posts of people talking about brake noise on the 3 with steel rotors. Most people will tell you if you track the car and do heavy braking that will cure it. it did for me. if you don't, go out and do 3 or 4 75mph-0 hard brakes, heat up the pads and it will go away for awhile.

Its best just to give it what it wants (track).

Unhappy Brakes and noise

It is just frustrating to have an amazing car and have people turn their heads at stop lights not because its a GT3 but because of the brake noise.

you can try to re-bed them in... 80MPH-10 80-10 80-10 like 3 to 5 times, without stopping, then go on the freeway to cool them off before making a complete stop...

thats how i bed my brembos in...
