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?

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
