subtledreamer

hey guys,

I did some searching already, found this from this thread (https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=squeak):
I've had these front pads on for about 3 weeks now, yes I did the initial break-in (40-0mph 10 times in 5 mins, did it twice, and no hard braking for ~400 miles).
My pads squeal when pedal pressure is light at all speeds though... and another strange thing is that they dont squeal until they have warmed up (after ~10 mins of driving), which doesn't make too much sense to me.

I don't exactly want to hear this for a year before it goes away... i only put ~10k miles on the car a year. If anyone has any ideas, please help me out!

BTW this is the anti-squeal I used on the pads, and they have worked well for my EBC's in the rear. Notice I added the stuff only to where the calipers touch the shims.

That is the outter sides. On the inner side pad, the anti-squeal shoud be applied even underneath the sim. In fact, you should appy anti squeal evenly on the outter side too so that there should be no hole for squeal whistle.

Well for starters you shouldnt have doen the initial 40-0 stuff till After they were driven a few hundred miles. Then is when EBC recomends bedding them in. The say its natural for them to heavy dust and make noise durring the initial driving (which is what ive always seen) but after you bed them in it goes away. Anti squeel is always recomended nowdays with pads.

the shim comes preinstalled on the back side of the pads and cant be removed... i think they are glued on.

really... damnit I remember reading from somewhere that i should do that right away. I am seeing heavy dust too, well ill give them another 200-300 miles and see again i suppose.

I've had mine now for about 7 months and they still squeal ,on my rotors(i have cross drilled rotors) i feel litle riples on them when i pass my finger on them,should i check my pads for wear?

I recall the following from when I installed mine (before I eventually removed them for excessive rotor warpage)....

EBC greenstuff pads come those stick on shims separate from the pads. You have to stick them on before installation.

The instructions will tell you not to use any other antisqueal compounds at all. You just use the shims that you stick onto the pads.

The fact that you used antisqueal compound may be your problem in this case.

Fluid Grease

I used a combination of one stick on shim that came with the pads and that large OEM shim that was on my old pads....not a bit of noise from day one....I have 4K on them now...this was done on a cross drilled rotor as well....BTW, these things give off some dust...more than was really described here on the forum, a lot more than the OEM pads with not really much more performance in braking IMHO.....as always, just my .......g

Actually, I should have mentioned that i had just the pads on before i applied the anti-squeal a week and a half later... and when I took it out for a test drive it was nearly gone, but after a day it came back and its as bad as it was before.

As compared to any other performance pad they are very minimum dust. the dust that they (your ebc green stuff) put off in 1 month, my axxis would produce in 2-3 days. As for performance, they are a hell of alot better than oem. they bite better, but where the performance comes in is repeated heavy braking. they dont fade much with heat like the oem.

my axxis pads give off major dust like fsttyms1 said (I have the same setup IROTORS with axxis pads), every 2-3 days my rims are brown which really sucks for my chrome lip

anyone else that may know of a solution other than driving for another 9k miles...?

id love to hear of a solution too ive had mine for like a few months n they still squeel like a mofo

i placed ballbearing grease around the edges of the pads (outer shoulders) where they slide into the calipers. i now have no squeal (knock on wood). maybe that would help.
