Best option: take it somewhere else.

well most squeal can be cured with:

installing the factory anti squeal shims

using copper grease, or the special anti squeal paste

champhering the edges of the pads if not done from factory

re-bedding them in

but, I have a set of pads. Endless CC-R, and they squeal no matter what. Hot, Cold, New, Old with shims, without shims they are just a noisy pad. you shouldn't have that problem with ultimates though.

im having the same problem with mine only at real low speeds "just befor stoping" where can i get the factory anti squeal shims?? i remmeber the guy who was instaling my pads took them off and threw them away cuz the breaks were bighting while they were on...

iv tried everything appart from changing the brake pads which is what im going to do but i think will still not solve my problem.. so it could be that small peace of mettal "shims" that shoulda been there..

i have the same problem aswell same pads aswell still working on the problem sum people might not like this but i couldnt stand the "squeel" anymore so i took them out rubbed them on some smooth cement and they stopped for about a month now they only do it every now and then and only a bit aswell might save your ears for a bit only a quick fix but
