DS1.11 are even more track oriented but did the noise came only from one side? if not I'm afraid it's not helping me :(

reminder^ there are some people that never experienced any nois on ds2500 pads, me included I can expect some noise and seen noisy pads on other cars but not that loud and not on one side only. I say it again- it did it on normal pads also, only on one side and no I'm not gonna buy 3 brands of...

Yeah only when light to moderate pedal pressure. If I get them hotter they squeak on hight pedal pressure also Sounds like a performance pad yeah BUT- -It only does it on the right side and it's LOUD -Swapping pads will do nothing I'm 1000% sure and I'm not wasting any time with this as it's...

And the sound

I did that the first time I ran the calipers. I had some new Valeo OE pads that came with the purchase. They did the exact same noise, which is kinda odd considering it's a different material to the ds2500.

So I just swapped the brackets left to right aaaand... Still the same. I'm not touching it anymore (not with my own hands that is), I'm done for now. I'll see what the mechanics have to say. I may have a noisy wheel bearing on the right side but I'm not sure, could be tyre noise? (Nankang ns2r...

thanks bud but for the moment I'm trying to keep this setup and make it work :) Maybe next year if you somehow don't let them go

I'm not a fan of them brackets also but they came along with the calipers from the guy that sold them. And for now I wanted to run the 280mm disc setup. The PMS kit which is lovely made indeed requires you to drill and take off 5mm from the calipers in order to fit the 280mm brackets which I...

once the brakes heat up a bit (after the first 10 brake applications from cold let's say) yeah, the noise is high pitched and continuous at moderate to low pedal pressure, when stamping on the brakes hard it goes away most of the times but I can't brake like a hooligan all the time lol. And it...

mhhh not much at all, maybe 100, but I did bed them in properly. I know I was thinking the same- just let them settle even more but trust me- the noise is unbearable :(

probabably will try that too. plus the ear plugs lol :)

I booked the car at a garrage on thursday to be checked, maybe extra brains will do something. Didn't swap the adaptors because it was late an I had no time left last night, but will surely be doing it on thursday, I'm kinda pissed off because I planned to do it yesterday but as said time only...

Back again. Took out the caliper, Inspected and cleaned all contact points, re checked the pads for free play, wheel bearing seems ok (no play). Put it all back together nice and tight an it still squeaks. I swear to God I have this car for 18 years, went through engine and gearbox rebuilds...

To sum it up: 1. Get rid of the squeal 2. If these brackets last me this season I'm happy. I'm gonna switch to 300mm discs next year and probably the pms dedicated brackets.

I did the piston test and they moved as they should

They work with the 280 discs without having to drill the calipers like with the PMS kit. I don't know other brackets that can be used without modding the calipers. If you do then let me know. I'll Switch them and see

I've thought about that but if the nut that holds the caliper to the adapter is tight and then the adapter is tight to the hub there should be literally no flex as the adapter itself is a long bolt that goes through the caliper and then the bolt that secures it to the hub is close to the mating...

I have some odd adapters custom made, but the calipers sit ok, but will do a re-check to be sure. They look like this:

And yes the pads move freely, I had the experience with ds2500 pads on the old std calipers and I obviously made sure there’s some free movement there :)

Not so sure it's the caliper but it kinda points there. I used a torque wrench to tighten all down. As far as I last checked the wheel bearing is ok and tight. But will do a re check, thx!

Do these hold up to trackday temperatures? Wouldn't want them brakes on fire 😁

I just came from doing a proper bed in session. Nice blue ish material deposit on both discs, I also had an infrared thermometer and measured temperatures both sides - gradually went up in braking force and ended up to about 200°C on both sides (measured the discs), max difference left to right...

I will try a re-bleed because that's the only thing I could do, I'm out of other ideas :(

I'm saying right hand side as it's simpler to identify as I'm driving an LHD car 🙂

Oh wait, you are talking about chamfering the pad material right? Well the Valeo pads were chamfered from factory and it still squealed like a stabbed pig so it's not that

That I think was applied to the std calipers when mounting ds2500 pads that were a very tight fit. On these 197 calipers the pads move freely, so I don't think that's the issue

Only thing that makes sense is there's still a difference in how the pistons slide in and out, thus pressing on a certain pad unequal and creating the squeal. Meaning that if one of the two pistons of a certain pad don't push by the same amount it creates that sound. Maybe there's some tiny air...

This is a 2 minute read so bear with me pls! I recently got said calipers from a guy, got them powdercoated, brand new pistons and seals, new pad hardware (pins and anti rattle shims), DS2500 pads and new Brembo max 280mm discs. This is my second attempt to to this job, first time I cheaped out...

different camber adjustment between left and right photo. I guess the advantage is that the wheel runs a bit further away from the BC strut, but if you run spacers that doesn't matter actually as there's no chance of rubbing

Hi, Having upgraded my 182 to said calipers, now I'm after the DS2500 pads to fit them and wanted to know if them pads require some filing like the DS2500's for the std caliper did? Sorry if that has been covered but I couldn't find a thread on it (I guess they don't need to?) Thanks!
