996TT front brake pads (Pagid Sports) are squeaking like crazy. I've tried bedding them in a few....
times over the last couple weeks, but it hasn't helped much. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA!

You need to R&R the pads . I use a MBZ anti squeak paste which is
applied on the side of the backing plates and has worked for me everytime, I believe you have Stoptechs's just like me. If you like , I can get you the part# of the MBZ product.

Same applies to 996tt. Do you have the blue or the orange pads ?
The blue's are relatively easy to get quiet but it is almost impossible with the orange, especially after some mlies on them, they are nosier than hell no matter what you do.

Pagid RS44 and now my Pagid RS19 both squeak like hell on the OEM 996C4s/turbo caliper on my C4s. There's no way around it. A lot of it has to do w/ xdrilled OEM rotors.
Also, remember that OEM Pagid Porsche pads have the pad retracting backing shims that seat into the piston and as the piston recedes into the caliper, it 'pulls' the pad away from the rotor. This is missing with replacement pads.
