More people should heed your advice - no need for anything more than standard brakes on a Taycan - waste of money and inviting squeaks...get the calipers painted if you wish to get the look!

@Jenner THANK YOU. I went out and did the brake stands (4-5 times - 80 down to 30) - and problem is solved! Squeak is gone. Brakes actually feel better. And I now see some of the deposits on the rotor. Really appreciate this guidance. For completeness, had the brakes inspected and as expected...

Not nearly enough “tear-assing”…actually more long distance highway driving…supporting the hypothesis that the discs are “too smooth”…gonna beat them up this weekend with the 80-30 brake stands and see what happens!

I’m inquiring as to others experience. Haven’t officially been told I need new brakes.

It likely is still this “phantom screeching” sounds others have reported at low speed and in some cases no braking at all. I even found a Porsche service bulletin that suggested front disc and pad replacement to solve for the noise regardless of brake wear. So I may just be chasing “the phantom”...

Have only changed the fronts and really only because I lost one to a pot hole and the other was close enough to replacement depths.

23.7K and no tracking or extreme “tear-assing”…

PSCB

I will have brakes inspected and report back! Thanks for all of the very helpful inputs here!

I’m not sure I do. But I’m collecting data in case I do.

I will have them fully inspected first. I have had a brake “squeal” for a while while braking at very low speed (final few feet to a full stop). There’s also a light squeal sometimes at very low speed as the wheel rotates without braking. Seems to happen in very dry conditions. When the wheels...

23.7K miles on my 2020 (40 months old) - the Suncoast chat technician said you can change just the pad but the dealer / brake shop said you “probably” have to change both…so I’m still unsure what the right answer is.

I'm expecting the worst - but will have it all inspected first - hopefully I can just replace pads...

Thanks. Checked Suncoast - rotors and pads all around are about $7300. $2000 in labor seems high. Will press on!

Yes - replacing PSCB and rotors got me to $9300 non-dealership...does it matter if I have another brake installer put them on and save on non-Porsche dealership labor mark-up?

Humor is always appreciated!

Hi - has anyone replaced their Taycan 4S brakes and what did you pay? Trying to see if estimates I've received ($9K and up for front and rear) are accurate. Did anyone use a non-Porsche shop? Any concerns with using a non-Porsche shop I should consider (although they would still use factory...

Porsche of Greenwich totally solved this for me…maybe the have the “right machine”?

Show them my paperwork - it fixed it 99.9%.

Had brake fluid system flush and has solved it for me under warranty (for now) - brakes are tight and feel perfect at all speeds but especially low speeds (5mph to standstill). I’d suggest everyone get this done.
