Qfm K500's - Squealing?

[typevu]

Does anyone else's QFM K500 squeal ALOT? Mine are REALLY shitting me off. As soon as they warm up they squeal real bad... its getting rediculous! How long do brake pads last? I'm going to try wear em out quickly with some hard driving/hills or I'll just chuck em in the bin where they belong

Did you bed them in correctly?

Have you read the other brake squealing threads on possible fixes?

Did you machine the rotors before they went in?

(really need a brake squealing FAQ)

That sounds just like my RB74 pads and they are made by QFM for Race Brakes.

I tried everything to stop them squealing but it made no difference.

Race brakes recommended I swap them for Elig pads but I thought I'd get some wear out of them first.

The problem is the rotors seem to be wearing faster than the pads.

Yeah it should be bedded correctly and with new rotors too - both less than 5000km easy and about 1 year old, car hasnt moved much. I'll probably get the brake pads out and get some anti-squealing stuff on it when I can bother getting around to doing it see if that'll work... I know of one other with the same pads and it squeals for them too - wonder if its happening to anyone else from that SAU group buy?

Mine squeal.

But i think it cause it didnt bed them in correctly.

I have QFM K750's which used to squeal a lot.

I went to bed them in and they only squeal on very light braking on rare occasion.

You can bed them in your self, or go to a brake specialist and tell them about the problem.

They should be able to minimize the squeal
