You could try changing the pads to something else, such as Pagid RS29's - quite a hard endurance pad but I've never heard people complain of squeal with them.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

TRYING TO ADD A PIC. First atempt failed to large so remembered thread on site where Richard hamilton said to use photo bucket so here goes.using my membership aleady

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

MY 996 TURBO. I LOVE IT. LOL cant seem to get pic on tried the photo bucket and the add image on post but does not seem to work. help please.

POST 4Original post

Mick, On the photobucket site below the picture you want will be a number of "tags". Right click on the "direct link" tag and the left click "copy". On the forum select reply as usual to make a post. Right above the typing box on the right is a yellow envelope icon. Left click on that and a window will open. In the box that appears right click and then select "paste". That should copy the photobucket link into that box and click "ok" Then the photo should magically appear! Hope that works for you!

POST 6Original post

You don't mention if you've performed a bedding-in procedure, so, assuming you haven't, you might want to follow the advice here The section headed "Bedding-in Street-Performance Pads" would seem to apply.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Nic for your advice. i have read a few of these bedding in procedures, but they all seem to refer to the front pads and not the rears. As one did mention that to get the rear up to temp you would boil the fronts. VERY BAD TODAY SPOILING THE DRIVE Mick

POST 8Original post

The rears can be made to get pretty hot - I've had smoke comming off them after 20 hard laps of Snetterton, although I do understand what you mean. You could try changing the pads to something else, such as Pagid RS29's - quite a hard endurance pad but I've never heard people complain of squeal with them.
