Hi everyone,
I just bought my R33 series 2 GTST last week. The brakes were squealing when I test drove it and the guy told me they had done that since he put Bendix Ultimates in. They were ok if you braked really hard, but no good for driving around town. So, today we put Bendix Ct pads in front and back and also put in the red sticky goo stuff in.
Now they are squealing even worse! Tried to bed them in as much as possible but it didn't make any difference.
What we noticed though, was that the old pads did not have a metal backing plate, so assumed these didn't have them (sorry for ignorance but I we just don't know these cars very well yet) So, therefore the new brake pads do not have a metal backing plate either. The old pads had a sort of soft plastic stick on sheet in the place of the metal backing plates, but we didn't put these back on.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give, have read as much as I can on previous issues with squealing brakes but no one seems to have mentioned missing metal plates.
