Stupidly squeaky brakes :(

[MrStabby]

Well Monday just gone, had a brake upgrade done. Brembo HC's, Mintex fast road pads, braided lines and Dot5 fluid. Now car was Ok first day, but now it sounds like a Bus. No lie. Get the most amazing squeek ever. What can I do. I know performance pads can make more of a noise but this is bluddy stupid. Worth using cooper slip on the back of the pads. Help. I don't want to sound like a Bus anymore!

Give it time it might f**k off.

TADTS [They all do that sir!]

I had the same setup on my VX and they squeaked all the time, you normally get squealing brakes with high performance aftermarket brake setups.

I fitted grooved and drilled disks after which eliminates the squealing but I prefered the solid disks.

Get used to it!

PS.... Did you apply loads of copperslip to the rear of the brake surface? if you didnt - this is normally the reason of squealing [you can buy anti squeal pads to apply to the rear of the pads too ]

 

[MrStabby]

Ahh I see, this is just more than a sqeek!

I got some anti squeal pads by the look of it with the rear pads I didn't use. Wortyh fitting these then. Also what do you mean by the rear of the brake surface? Cheers

 

[christurbo]

Back of the pads [surface facing piston/caliper] defo worth fitting.

 

[MrStabby]

Cool, will be doing this sunday! You reckon the pads or copper slip will be better?

 

[White16valver]

Stop being a girl! :rasp:

 

[christurbo]

Cool, will be doing this sunday! You reckon the pads or copper slip will be better?

Both!

The actual brake surfaces will probably still squeal though [disk onto pad surface].

 

[Dink]

mintex pads will be at fault get something else

 

[MrStabby]

Why will the Mintex be at fault?

 

[Fred@BTM]

those mintex exteme squeal like a b**ch on my V6

 

[MrStabby]

Mine are the M144 compund ones! Any input Freddy boy!

 

[Fred@BTM]

they greased? they fit in the caliper nicely? are the shims still in?

 

[MrStabby]

Not greased, sims still in, and seem like a nice fit.

 

[Fred@BTM]

remove the shims (if needed), and grease the back of the pads

 

[MrStabby]

Cheers Fredrick

I had the 1144's in my VX - much better than the std Brembo's.

 

[MrStabby]

Well gave it a go today, and still squeek like a mofo Just live with it then lol
