If you want a 'brake kit' just because it is squealing, don't bother. Rectify the issue of it squealing. Could be shims missing on back of pad, dust,foreign objects, pad compound, low pads etc

The people who 'fix brakes' and say it is common are people who can't be f**ked looking at your car. I have looked at a few with squealing issue but it is by no means common or normal.

Take it elsewhere.

If your looking for better performance from your brakes let us know and people will be able to recommend brakes that may suit you.

So in other words you just need new rotors and pads?

A set of good RDA or DBA rotors and some decent brake pads should set you back around $1000-$1500.

i have already put new pads and i still have the same issue, thats the problem....

well can you help me out and let me know of a good place to take my car to if you have any suggestion that would be great. also the brakes have the shims replaced and also as well i have gone through a lot of pads to see which ones dont squeal and they all still do it.....

and i live in sydney as well

when you replace your pads do you have your rotors machined? this could be causing the squealing. are your guide pins lubed?

if you've tried this stuff, and want new pads and rotors just for street driving grab some dba rotors, bendix gct pads, a can of that 'disk brake quiet' stuff that you spray on the back of your pads and lube your guide pins.

should solve it

rotors have been machined several times and same issue and the pads have been replaced several times aswell... and the sprayed that stuff on it as well and same issue.. i have been driving around for almost a yr with squealing brakes and i have had it big time hahahahaah... i dont know i dont want to go spending money on new rotors and have the same problem.. if you know of a good mechanic in the sydney area i would really appreciate it... and thanks for your help and input dude..

no worries, fair enough then. nah i dont know any mechanics in sydney, im in wa. what types of pads have you tried?

have you checked your seals on the pistons in the caliper? its possible one of the pistons is sticking

if you know of a good mechanic in the sydney area i would really appreciate it... and thanks for your help and input dude..

Specialised Brake & Clutch in Penrith are excellent, they deal with performance cars & brake upgrades every day.

They are straight shooters, I have never had anything but excellent service from them. Don't have their number on me, but yellow pages will :thumbsup:

Good luck.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
