Squeaky Brakes

[mbogosia]

I installed PBR Organics about 3 months ago and have been squealing ever since. I can't take it anymore. I will probably buy some new rotors and Raybestos in the next couple of weeks.

yeah, it's a real pain in the ear.

but my friends and i always get a nice laugh when i'm squealing to the red light. everyone knows when the king is coming.

akebono ceramic pro act.. These seem to be better than the qs .. no dust better stopping etc... Unfortunately none of them offer a lifetime warranty anymore, akebono is 1 year, raybesto's 1 year. Here's a link to more info on akebono

After I started listening to Bill, I've installed Raybestos QS on everything I can. Excellent results.

Last time I looked into it, Patrick didn't know what Raybestos QS fictions were....?!

best, whit

best, whit

Cheers Bill.

Ceramic pads seem like the way forward. I just priced up some Raybestos QS sent to the UK, $130 + $100 shipping for all pads.

Done a quick search for ceramic braking in UK, and come up with some EBC Red Stuff Ceramic, I'm going to search for some more, but these are pricing in at about £60-£80 for all pads.

I've seen EBC spammed all over tuning magazines that you get over here, always thought they would be over priced rubbish - but might be worth giving them a go. Ideally i'd like to see a set of Raybestos QS on the car, as they sound like the business! (or not as it were)

A. replace them with ceramic pads such as the raybestos QS
B. Take them off , Clean all sliding surfaces on the calipers and back side of pads, coat the back side of pads with a antisqueal compound and lightly coat the areas that the pad slides on on the caliper with antiseize compound which is intended also as a squeal eliminator. Lubromoly lm508 antiseize is what i use on the areas that the pad slides on. metal to metal.
This may or may not help, BG products also makes a squeal reducer that applies directly to the brake pad surface itself which is unusual , seems to work for a couple of months...
C. replace them with ceramic pads such as the raybestos QS and forget about noise
