Hi guys,

I was wondering if some of you got some tips regarding how to get rid of the noise that my brakes do while stopping... It's pretty embarrassing... and it starts to **** me off.. feels like I'm driving a cr-v

Porterfield RS4 pads

Bed the brakes (10 hard stops in a row from highway speed) and give it time. Mine went away after a few thousand miles.

This. Are they new? You should try to do this from about 60 to 0. That's the proper way to break in new brakes or it'll get rid of whatever brake dust that's causing the noise.

No the brakes aren't new. It wasn't doing that noise when I first got the car. Maybe it did, but it wasn't that loud. It actually goes away and then comes back... Very frustrating. I will use the RS4 pads next time I need a brake job, but for now I need to find another solution. I'll try to do few 60-0 and see if that helps.

I don't think you actually come to a stop. Just come to a 5 to 10 mph roll then back up to 60.

Well, in the future, make sure you do this with any set of new brakes. I've been told by a couple of people that it's necessary.

Sorry for the thread highjack for a sec.....but SICK ride MORT...!

Exactly right...DO NOT STOP.....and when ya've finished the exercise, drive around for 10 minutes or so to allow everything to cool down properly.
Cheers, Pickles.

dumb question, will it be too late to do this exercise since my car has 4000miles on the clock,.?

Could just be brake dust. When i got mine, it was making a squeeking noise while stopping and taking off and someone on another thread recommended meguiars all wheel cleaner. Ever since i started using it, the noise went away

Guilty

Thanks, i'll try that

Mort

Thanks....appreciate it Zephyr!
