Slightly off subject but my NQSBBK is squeaking like a mofo when warmed up! I'm using textar pads at present.

I've just ordered some Brembo anti-rattle shims.............................is this going to work and does anyone already use these??

Cheers, Andy.

I have the anti rattle shims. to be honest i dont thik they help much. still squeaks after i have been driving for a while. If i am braking alot it is fine, but a long distance on the motorway and they start to squeek untill i brake again.

Cheers Dan, so this stuff just works like 'copper slip' etc? I guess it's just one or the other with regards to shims as well?

Never use copper paste on aluminium calipers.  :scared:

Pagid Ceratec, Berner, Würth, Optimol and others are aluminium oxide ceramic based and non conductive.

Cheers, Andy.

mine was kind of odd - they used to squeal when braking going in a forward direction without the shims. with the shims installed, they only squeal when i'm braking travelling at a certain speed (parking speed) in reverse, but it's much louder and quite embarrassing.
