I didnt get any :( but i knew i had to bed them in so i did 50 to 0 fairly fast about 10 times then went to 80-0 about 5 times and they were great and i could smell them the noise only started the next day :( but i just thought it might be the rotors as they were new.

it stops very well and i am pretty happy with them when i get the new rear rotors and pads i'll get the brakes bleed with new fluid and give them a hard time see if that makes then a bit quieter :/

When all else fails anti squeal paste is your friend.

Thats one of the biggest failures out there

I'd disagree. Maybe it's the kind that you used? Try using copper grease with shims. This absolutely deleted any noise from mine. I was running DS2500 front and rear at the time and it was so loud I thought it was going to break glass. Fitted the shims with copper grease. Dead quiet.

Running pagid rs14s now, still dead quiet.

pretty sure i mentioned this on p1 and no one noticed....

copper grease on the shims will kill ALOT if not all the noise

what sort of braking conditions are you guys referring to the squeaking with? my r32 has been doing this really bad since i've had it. it has slotted rotors and it squeaks only under very light braking, e.g when im rolling up to a red light and slowly coming to a stop thats where i get this horrible loud squeaking it drives me nuts. on two occasions i've had my rotors machined and it stopped the squeaking for about a week then back to normal. my old garage suggested it could be the pads but i've never gone to the trouble of replacing them when apart from the noise they work fine. the pads do seem to produce a lot of brake dust though. if i clean my rims then maybe after like another 2 days theyr filthy again with brake dust.. does that say anything with regards to the quality of the brake pads?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
