I have just put PBR ULT's on the rear of my 525iT and despite Permatex on the mating surfaces of the caliper and outer pad, and the piston and inner pad, I still get a nice loud squeal on light braking, though better since I cleaned things up really well and reapplied it, but still annoying. Should I expect better results with brake lube instead? What is the consensus? Thanks very much.
lube the sliders? got all the shims in?
I've always used copper paste on the rear of the pads.
You need to rough up the surface of the rotors and break it in again.
Thanks. The shims are built into the backing plates (thin soft layer) and yes I did lube the sliders, although now I read some recommend against it as the lube may cause the rubber to swell and bind.Quote:

Thanks very much. I tried it with just the factory shims and nothing on them, but they really squealed then. Much better with Permatex, but still worse than other pads (ATE, Mintex) that I had used. Thanks again.Quote:
