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

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
