Brakes squeeling like a pig

[JohnnyE]

Just had Brembo HC's and Ferodo Ds2500 pads fitted and there squeeling and its doing my head in, has anyone else had issues like this with these brakes............??

 

[twingors]

Did you file the pads at the edges? Copper grease the backs??

 

[Fred@BTM]

^you DO NOT copper grease them

you have to grind the back plates down and remove the shims from the carriers

[Fred@BTM]

DS2500s squeal a bit when not warmed up but if it's all the time then as per what Fred said. Mine took a lot of filing to fit properly.
