Noisy brakes

[trophy380]

I know what you're all going to say!!!! lol

I bought a set of EBC yes I know EBC! drilled and grooved front discs and RedStuff pads for the T, I was going to buy brembo's but the EBC we're just so cheap off a friend that runs a car parts shop. The braking on them isn't too bad and I would say that they are better than standard regardless of what people say.

The trouble is with them is that they are making a hell of a lot of noise, when the brake pedal isn't pressed and a noticeably louder noise when it is, which is totally getting on my nerves!!

I don't want to fork out more money for new discs and pads but I would replace one or the other.

Does anyone know if it's the pads or the discs making the noise? anyone got any ideas?

pads, but the combination could be the issue... you pays your money etc etc....

Thanks cue, I know! just they were a bargain! I'll probably end up getting a set of brembo's and ferodo's next month! ;o) Lesson learnt!

Are the brembo and ferodo set-up noisy?

My ferodos are fairly noisy but i think that could be to do with the whole file shim off pad situation (which i dont really understand )

I took the shims out to fit my Pagids and I haven't noticed any difference in noise whatsoever, sounds like something wrong with your setup, get someone to look at it

I would consider getting pagid blues. Better and less noise than ferodo's in my opinion.

Just take heed of people's problems with fitting :?

I had none, I suspect its just poor casting of the carriers etc.
