Horrible amg break squeal 6 month old car

Hey just wondering if there is really any remedy for the dreaded amg break squeal or just suck it up? It sounds awful coming to a stop at a light in a expensive performance vehicle and stopping next to a mustang that makes zero noise.

EDIT: The car is mainly city driven has about 9000km on it, would changing the pads to a different aftermarket pad be the solution?


Thank you

Got a part number on the porterfield pads? I searched their website and all they show for the 15+ e63 amg are hawk pads.

I'm gonna try re bedding the pads slightly doing a few hard stops from 60 mph to 0 mph on safe roads.

Porterfield R4S Brake Pads: Front 1291, Rear 1450

This is for 07-14 E63 AMGs with iron rotors, but it should work for 15s as well if brakes are the same

I've tried new pads a couple times and re-bedding as well... still scream really annoyingly.

I assume my only mitigation left is to swap out rotors for the Racingbrake front and rear set.

The squealing only comes form the back, so if I wanted to spend the least, I could just buy new rear rotors and use a bunch of that anti-squeek pad mounting goop.

But between the squeal and the now-squeeking seat, this car is becoming much noisier than I like.

If re bedding breaks didn't do anything ask the dealer if they'll warranty it

Another benefit of the Porterfield r4s pads is that they are a low dust pad.
Our Aston Martin made a crazy amount of dust. After installing the Porterfield
pads hardly any dust.
