cowie Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I know its a similar post to many others about squeaking brakes but can't find specifics in the other ones regarding 'when' they start squeaking, Had new DBA rotors,ferrodo pads and Hel lines fitted last tuesday, did the bedding in procedure with no problems and since friday it has started squealing but only when its virtually at a standstill,with your experiences does this sound like its just some crap thats got between pad and will work itself away or more a fitment issue shims copper grease?

AK350Z Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think it's just a characteristic of the pads Ian, the DS2500(?) aren't supposed to be for road use after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Mcgoo Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I've got the dba t3 discs , ds 2500 pads and hel lines combo on mine and I get no noise at all. I did put a fair bit of copper slip between the back of pads and shims and also on all the contact points between the pads and calipers.

Mack Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I've got DS2500 pads with performance friction disks. No squeal here, I don't use the shims but I did copper grease the back of the pads. As long as you have the Brembo brakes removing the pads and greasing them is very easy, I'm sure there's a guide on here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Adding shims to the rear of my brake pads killed 98% of the squeal I had. I didn't grease them though. Now it's very mild when braking from 0-5mph, and even that's possible to neutralise by adjusting the timing and level of pressure you apply when braking. Used to have it very bad though, so I know how infuriating it can be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
