Some humming is caused by J-hooks or slotted discs - this is normal. If you have some squealing it's
caused by the pads.

I had humming with all my slotted discs (AP, Brembo, Tarox). A friend is running Pagid RS4-2 (blue)
on his Octavia RS with stock calipers (+ Tarox G88) and the pads are squealing like hell when cold.

If you are going to J-hook it, J-hook it right with genuine AP Racing discs! Those replicas look horrid.  :fighting:

J-hooks are sooooo passé - Crescents are where it's at.  :signLOL:

But yeah, they do hum a little, don't worry.

Damn those are expensive. I think I'll reuse the old one although don't look like new :).
I hope the pad retaining mechanism is not so expensive...

yeah theres no problem by not using them, just they might squeel a bit.
IIRC I bought a full set from a porche garage and they were £35 for all 4  :happy2:
