My front brakes seem to be squeaking, it started just after installing the new set of R1 Concept rotors and pads. Anyone have this same problem? Did it eventually go away? If not, what does anyone recommend to solve this situation.

 

I installed mine like 5K miles ago and still havent had any problems...i ordered the posi quiets with mine, what pads are you using?

 

Its the pads. I just installed some pads on my car and they didnt sit right on the rotor, so the clip that holds the pads in was rubbing my rotor & causing a squeeling noise at all times. Had to get new pads that actaully fit correctly.

 

Did you bed-in your brakes properly?

 

I have a Rotora BBK w/ Rotora Circuit Breaker pads.......at low speeds, mine squeel like a MOFO! Im gonna have Goodyear put some "STOP SQUEEL" on the pads to correct the problem.

 

I have the R1 Concept Rotors with Posi Quiet Pads and they squeel.

F*N Hate it...annoying as shit.

 

same

 

Isn't it annoying as hell! LOL....but as I said, supposedly Good year auto/tire uses a lubricant called "Stop Squeel" on the surface of the pads to stop the squeeling at low speeds. Once I get it in for it oil change, I will let you know how it works

 

Is that "Stop Squeel" a spray you can buy at like Pep Boys or Kragen Auto Parts?

 

I use to work at a goodyear in my area and "Stop squeel" is a liquid that you spread on the pad material itself. You let it dry and its like a bedding compound. I've used it before and it seemed to work. I would also get the stuff that you apply on the outside of the pad. Its usually thick and red. That stuff somewhat absorbes the squeel.

 

oh, the "stop squeel" is made by BG

 

I got R-1 rotors and pads and they squealed like no other. My rear brakes were the only ones that were squeaking thought. I even went out and bought another set of pads for the rear and they became more quiet but there is still an annoying squeaking sound, especially when I hit the brakes.

 

I notice it especially when I apply the brake with little pressure and come to a gradual stop.

I guess I can go buy this "Stop Squeel" spray and give it a shot.

 

Im not sure if it is a spray bro......All I know is most of your tire/auto shops have it! It is supposed to work great, and yes, if im going 20-60 mph, and come to a stop...its fine, but starting off at slow speeds then gradually stopping, sounds like nails on a chalk board, but 12x louder! LOL

 

so its the pads that r bad and not the r1 rotors right? just makin sure

 

^ I have no idea....but I got the POSI QUIET pads and....I rest my case.

 

It isnt that the pads are bad.......I believe it is just their compound that they are made of.

 

so r1 concept cheap no good? dont get?

 

when I put mine on, I got ceramic pads from autozone.. Never had any sounds come from the rotors other than the regular ticking from the holes...

 

When you have a BBK, you dont have the luxery of getting pads from Autozone........WHICH SUCKS! LOL

 

i wouldn't even want to, they don't even have quality parts half the time.

 

I've got the R1 drilled/slotted rotors with autozone pads...and no squealing ever.

 

Amazes me that the cheap sub-quality pads have no noise & the pads that ran me 170 bucks squeel! LOL, Phillip.....your pads on your BBK a lil noisey too bro?

 

same...I don't know why we were spared...?

 

looks like I will look into new pads or some stop squeel or something of that nature

 

the brakes perform great, but its just the gradual stopping squeel that I get sometimes...seems like when they get warmed up they start that squeeling

 

went to autozone and got some brake cleaner, didnt really seem to help, oh well, Ill give it a couple more weeks and wait it out

 

my rear brakes make this ticking sound when braking above 10mph. got some drilled/slotted rotors. and then only on the back right side the pads are wearing unevenly. took the whole thing apart and twice and couldnt figure it out.
