    Does anybody know the original (ie new) thickness of brake disc front and rear for a 550 Maranello, also how much wear is permissable before they need changing? Any advice appreciated.

    Also the brakes on mine seem to squeal a lot when warm, does anyone else have this problem and if so any ideas how to stop it?

    I would have a good over your brake rotor,Remove your wheel and have a look, most information is cast on them ie..minimum disc thickness for machine shops that skim off wear lips from your brake pads. I find most times with squeeking brakes that if I flush the brake caliper with a garden hose it washes away the brake dust, otherwise it could also be just the brand of brake pads you have fitted already
