Default front brake noise when comming to a stop - the brakes pretty just

make a scrapping noise during low speed stops - but during high speeds or firm pressure on the pedal stop the brakes are quiet

Default Stuck caliper. Check for heat.

If it is that then one side will be hot and the other normal.

Default if one of the calipers is stuck, then that rotor will be very hot....

but with the porsche brakes, that is not likely to be the issue.

Remove a wheel and see if anything is funny....maybe one of your pads is lose.

Can you video it?

Default I have similar issue.

My car is 2.8 manual. The front right brake makes noise at low speed(<20Miles/Hour). The sound will disappear after lightly tap on the brake. But it will come up shortly. Does bleeding the brake help the issue?

Default Isn't this normal for many brake setups?...

I have drilled rotors and they've always made some grinding sounds when braking at low speeds IF they've sat in a damp/humid environment for a long time. Garaging the car overnight after driving in the rain will make it most noticeable.

However, it just goes away after a few stops.

I always thought this was normal.
