Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I’ve used Hawk pads, racing to DD, forever, and like their performance (torque, release, wear).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2003 C2 996 Convertible with squealing brakes. anyone have recommendations as I don’t see spending a ton for a daily driver with zero track days. Amazon, eBay, etc?

POST 3Original post

I’ve used Hawk pads, racing to DD, forever, and like their performance (torque, release, wear). I’m running Hawk HP Plus, pretty aggressive on the rotors but stop great! And medium amount of dust. I took off the pads from the PO, Bosch, which worked well for street, DD pads, very little dust and minimal rotor wear, and not very expensive. I saw, but haven’t used, Hawk Ceramics, would trust them to be very good for street driving.

POST 4Original post

Akebono. Ran them on my R with Stoptech 2 piece rotors etc, good grabbing power, and currently run them on my 02 C2. Definitely bed them in properly though.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
