When i pull off from a stop, the brakes squeak until about 10 mph. What can i use to stop the squeaking? I hear that copper grease works but i have never used it.|||Are you sure it's the brakes? And if so, why are you using the brakes when accelerating? If this is only happening while you are accelerating and coming up to speed and you're not using the brakes, what makes you think this is the brakes and not something else? Or did you mean when coming too a stop?
Backing off from that for a moment - brake squeal is generally a result of either the pad slipping and squirming a little, or the actual compound. For the former, there are retaining pins/clips on all the Porsche calipers that will act to lock the pad into place, and will also provide some spring to hold the pad firmly in place. If these are old or haven't been replaced with the pads over the years, they may be worn out. The backs of most pads will also usually have some lining that will act to dampen such squealing - this will wear away as the pad ages.
As for the pad itself, if you are using a pad compound that squeals, then it will squeal, simple as that (metallic pads or any aggressive sports/racing pad). Also, it's possible the pad surface has becomed glazed which will lead to noise (and they should be replaced). But all of these issues will surface when you are using the brakes, not when you are pulling away from a stop.
If it happens when stopping and continues again when pulling away, then you may have one of the above issues combined with a sticking piston in one or more of your calipers. If it only happens when pulling away, then you might want to look towards the wheel bearings or various suspension components.|||Never put any kind of grease on the disks, drums, pads, or shoes of a brake system.|||Get new disk brakes smart. And yeah, don't put any type of oil on the brakes.
