How to queiten carbone lorraine pads!

[deviltronics]

I have had the carbone lorraine pads (with brembo max groove discs) in for a couple of months now. Done about 1500 miles on them including two track days.

They still squeel extremely bad. I was told that once I had done a trackday they should quiten down, but the opposite has happened, they have gone vey loud. They tend to squeel alot when slight/medium pressure is applied. They also now tend to squeel when turning, even though the brake pedal is not pushed.

When cold and under heavy breaking the squeel is not so loud.

I have cleaned the carriers and greased (back of the pads aswell) them up quite well. I was thiniking of removing the metal spring plates that are located at the top and bottom of the pads, do you think this will help?


Anyone know where I can get some anti squeel back plates from?

Is the noise actually coming from the pad and disc contact surfaces?

Any other ideas?

i think its something you have to put up with! or change for standard!

 

[Jim_RT]

I think it'll just be the pad compound and disc. Nothing really can be done. Strange you have problems with that setup though. I use the brembo max and mintex extreme pad combo and they squeel as well. I wonder if infact it's the discs causing the problems?

Taking them off and replacing them with DS2500's seems to work well.

 

[deviltronics]

have you got brembo max groove discs on?

 

[homer simpson]

they will never change they squeal all the way threw the life of them sorry

This is great news. If my CL's don't squeal like this once they're fitted...I'll be taking them back!

Que Chauster! He was using the handbrake it was that embarasing in town!!! lol

 

[Chris n nic]

I have the PF pads and they squeal soooo badly. I have done the handbrake slow down routine as well lol! Although the improvement in braking is immense

You love the handbrake skid turns! Closet chav!

 

[kully]

My ebc yellows pads are squealling too :quiet:

 

[deviltronics]

Que Chauster! He was using the handbrake it was that embarasing in town!!! lol

I do that at the moment, the rear pads have to come in some use!

Going to cane the brakes at Brands on tuesday, then move to the feroda's after that, can't be dealing with them anymore!

Ooh, never though of that. Might finally get some use out of my 91k old OE rear pads now.

 

[deviltronics]

blimey, 91k on the original rear pads, thats getting your monies worth. a few hand brake turns mark, and you'll be on your next set sooner.

Im getting rid of mine I cant stand them anymore really doing my head in I need to hide my face ever time I brake mind you they are amazing for stopping power i can out brake alot of people which is an advantage .
They worked well today on the back roads no noise either that I couldn't hear it as my exhaust is that loud lol.
Any takers for my pads they are jus about new paid alot for them too.

Still got over 3mm on both sides. They do 0% of f**k all.

 

[deviltronics]

^^^ your not wrong there, you may aswell remove the rear calipers, discs, pads and the block the rear brake exits on the master cylinder.

first gear can become the new parking brake.

Mine don't. So maybe there is more to it than just the pad material.

 

[dhampton]

What awesome pads the Carbone Lorraines are though. Around Brands on Tues they were excellent. Far better than DS2500s for track only work.

 

[deviltronics]

^^^^what were you in, pissed down with rain! still really good though

 

[ben_p]

if your selling the car deviltronics .. wana swap your carbon loraines for some brand new mintex extreams?

how much are left on your carbons?

 

[deviltronics]

lots left on the carbones, only done about 1000 miles. im selling the car and putting it back to standard, so not after a swap.

will sell the pads with the brembo max discs as a set.

 

[ben_p]

[Dan R]

[ben_p]

[deviltronics]

I was in the '03 172 Cup on white speedlines. Were you in the 53 plate Cup? I've only had it a few weeks so it was the first trackday its been on. I was really impressed though. It was seriously wet most of the day, I had the car aquaplaning sideways through Surtees (unintentional!)

Got the R888s bedded in and got more comfortable with the car by about 4o'clock! There was lots of grip if you trusted it. Was chasing a nice silver 993 911 and lapping that Volvo! Was a good turnout and mixture of cars though, a few red flags as normal but plenty of tracktime.

 

[deviltronics]

i still have the standard disc and pads which i'll throw on, will put all the bits up for sale in classifieds section next week

 

[geesus69]

are the carbones unrivalled in terms of track use?

i was looking at getting them for the valver but dunno if i can be doing with the squeeling!?!?

Yeah had the other 172 cup (not standard wheels) with my nephews! Great day, MR2's were going off everywhere. I was in the same garage as that Volvo 850.

I was very impressed. Better on track in my experience than Pagid Blue and DS2500s. I would imagine i'll get through discs quicker than pads though! No good for road use with the noise (imo).

 

[deviltronics]

no split with tyres

 

[White16valver]

ok, fairy nuff
