Brakes Squeeking

[gotRICE?]

You shouldnt really stop, they tell you to not come to a complete stop haha

I didnt get any but i knew i had to bed them in so i did 50 to 0 fairly fast about 10 times then went to 80-0 about 5 times and they were great and i could smell them the noise only started the next day but i just thought it might be the rotors as they were new.

it stops very well and i am pretty happy with them when i get the new rear rotors and pads i'll get the brakes bleed with new fluid and give them a hard time see if that makes then a bit quieter

When all else fails anti squeal paste is your friend.

try alignment for the braking system

Thats one of the biggest failures out there

I'd disagree. Maybe it's the kind that you used? Try using copper grease with shims. This absolutely deleted any noise from mine. I was running DS2500 front and rear at the time and it was so loud I thought it was going to break glass. Fitted the shims with copper grease. Dead quiet.

Running pagid rs14s now, still dead quiet.

Ahh i misread it, when you said PASTE.

I only tried that red CRC sticky rubbish that did diddly squat

pretty sure i mentioned this on p1 and no one noticed....

copper grease on the shims will kill ALOT if not all the noise

^^^ what he said. I had the same issue with QFM HP-X pads .. drove me insane. It wasn't until all shims were greased with copper grease carefully that they stopped squealing.

what sort of braking conditions are you guys referring to the squeaking with? my r32 has been doing this really bad since i've had it. it has slotted rotors and it squeaks only under very light braking, e.g when im rolling up to a red light and slowly coming to a stop thats where i get this horrible loud squeaking it drives me nuts. on two occasions i've had my rotors machined and it stopped the squeaking for about a week then back to normal. my old garage suggested it could be the pads but i've never gone to the trouble of replacing them when apart from the noise they work fine. the pads do seem to produce a lot of brake dust though. if i clean my rims then maybe after like another 2 days theyr filthy again with brake dust.. does that say anything with regards to the quality of the brake pads?
