I got the Axxis Ultimate front pads, along with new brembo blank rotors about a month ago now. The brakes still squeak alot when i brake. At first i thought they had to break in or something. But its been a while and they still make noise. They are installed correctly, and ive used like numerous bottles of brakeleen. How can I get rid of the damn noise... or do these pads just suck like that and will always squeak?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Matt

 

I've had the most annoying squealing with both OEM and DuraLast pads on my 95 SE, I've tried two or three different anti-squeal compounds on every metal surface, and no difference. The squeal goes away for 30 minutes or so of driving, then comes back. It's always from just on the brakes to about halfway, after that it goes away.

 

Ohh man I was ready to buy the same setup as you undienow

 

Yeah and most of the time thats how i brake... and its annoying as hell. So you never did fix the noise? The pads that were on my car before i changed them which were wearing out did not make noise at all.

 

my car has the same thing from time to time. everything OEM. sometimes u brake any way, hard, gentle, intermittent and NOTHING, but sometimes u get a series of screech, squeek.

i checked the pads and they look like they are okay, sill have life on them...

im thinking of going brembo blanks and the metal masters. from what i've read people say aftermarket pads are like that, they stop better, but u get the squeek with them, thats why people suggest OEM but then again, oem u still get squeeks. where are u guys applying the anti squeek? i don't think that really matters as over time it'll just wear off.

 

after 5 years of squealing brakes i think I've finally found the solution.
1. CRC Disk Brake Quiet between the pads and the caliper
2. brake grease on both sides of the "hardware kit."
This puts a barrier around every metal to metal point. It's been a month now and so far no freakin squeaks, squeals or chirps. Pads and rotors were not changed when i did this.
