quick update: Went to a trackday recently and after some brake pad material sticked to the discs the squeal was vastly improved, it only did it at a certain brake pedal pressure (above medium let's say) and only after the pads are a bit hot, sot not the first thing in the morning so I'm happy to...

no news on this?

quick question here- a mate has these 406 brembo calipers fitted to his 172 and I wanna help him get some new braided lines fitted as the current ones are quite dodgy, anyone can point out to what are the ones that fit? thanks!

If I were to snap my fingers I'd put back the OE pads and show that the are just as noisy. Track or no track pad it is the same.

When they're up to temp they scream even worse. I can live with some noise but trust me, real life is way worse than in the video. Also, being on one side points out to a problem. Will swap discs and pads altogether for sure. (although I bet my house it will be the same but have to check that also)

Brembo max and yes with light sandpaper and brake degreaser

Last night when I spapped the brackets I measured the alignment and on the right side thre seemed like half a mm of gap difference measured between the top and bottom bracket. I had a eureka moment and gladly swapped the brackets left to right, measured the left ones that I now installed on the...

These are the Valeo pads I ran before, they have a backing plate and are chamfered on the edges. None of that helped as I said, exact same noise, exact same side.

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 😁
