Hi guys,
I recently got myself a 95 R33 GTST, and I'm in love. However, the front brakes are squeaking horrendously when gentle applying the brakes coming up to junctions/lights etc. So, I did the norm and replaced the pads, no joy. So dug deeper, and have now ended up doing almost EVERYTHING! I have replaced the pads again ones with shims on the back and a grove in the middle to let brake dust escape. I also replaced my discs, have replaced the brake clips that hold the pads in place and have now just re sealed the pistons on both Calipers. I have also used copper grease on areas where there is metal to metal contact and have used anti squeak on the back of the pads and have sanded the edges so they are more rounded, but the squeak is just horrendous! Makes me grateful I walk to work! The odd thing is, if I'm coming up to a junction/lights and I firmly press the peddle and stop abruptly, no squeak? But, if I'm rolling slowly and gentle hold the brakes in it's AWFUL! I'm out of ideas now, and wondered if anyone has anything more I can do/try to get rid of this...
Thanks in advance,
James
