Default how much do your stoptech's squeal?

Just wondering. Mine are two weeks in with the axiss front pads that came with the kit. I put a decent layer of anti squeal on and it is fine until i hit the 5-10 mph range and come to a gradual stop. That is when i hear noticeably loud squeals.

That's the price we pay for having BBK's. If you're not beating the crap out of the brakes, you'll have squel during low speed braking. It's completely normal for aggressive pads.

I hope that "decent layer of anti squeal" was on the caliper side of the pad !!

No offence but iv seen worse---Like the time I told a guy he needed to flush his A/C system before vacuum and recharge and came to find out he flushed it with water.

But ---Hi perfomance components all have there pros and cons. Disc Brakes make noise ---- Thats the nature of the beast.

lol. Not on the caliper side hehe. The sound is not all bad, at least it makes people stop and look. Then they have the look when they see the 14.1" rotors lol.

Whew glad to hear about the A/S ended up where it belonged---No worrys- Next time maybe try a softer pad.

Better getting attention from the squeal of the pads than attention from the squeal of an old woman getting run over because they just dont work . --------
