Title: Ferodo DS2500 problems???
Post by: Madman1886 on November 04, 2014, 10:49:38 am
Anyone else having severe brake squeal from the DS2500 pads. I've already stripped my brakes down 3 times to re-grease them and it lasts about 3 weeks then the horrible noise returns again. Anyone any ideas????

Yeah I understand that but this is ridiculous . They didn't come with the usual anti-sqeal metal slider inserts you usually get with pads these days and was wondering if they were meant to !

I'm running M1144's and they squeal abit coming to a stop but wouldn't say they are horrendous. I'm actually quite fond of the little squeak haha.

These high performance pads do need the occasional any high speed braking regime to keep them squeal free for town driving.

I run ds2500's at the minute with plain discs a get a bit of squeal from time to time , thing is I've ran ds2500's on countless hot hatches over the years both with plain and grooved discs and never had any squeal before
