Title: Brake pads...
Post by: Jayy26 on June 20, 2014, 01:04:07 pm
I bought some rs4-2 pads a while ago and fort they would stop squeaking or at least my everytime I slightly touch the breaks..I understand there track pads? But it's really annoying so does anybody no a fix or another set off good pads without braking the bank?

Seen some brembo ones for about 36? Of opie oils?

Thanks

You could try taking the pads off and re-fitting with a smidgen of copper grease on the back of the pad

Whenever I buy brake pads I stick with pagid, can't go wrong with pagid stuff

No votes for Vaico? Haha I saw them on Ecstuning for almost half price of OEM. Semi- ceramic. Has anyone used them ?
