No worries i would go the Ferodo DS Performance pads and they will cost you about $300 for both sets thanks

Yes to dusty and noise is something that is possible but not all cars suffer from it when they fit them.

Hey Matt,
Just wondering as I recently got a set of Remsa pads for my front 325mm pbr's and they are incredibly noisy(squeeky). Just wondering if there were some pads that would squeek less if at all?

Did you machine or replace the rotors at all as we find the chance of pad noise is increased when pads have been fitted without replacing or machining the rotors. Noise is generally a harmonic issue under like braking.
I would also say that the performance calipers like the C5 and the Brembo 4 pots have higher noise issues than std caliper and even some of the HSV guys are having the the same issue in the HSV C5 calipers as well.
Remsa pads are generally pretty good and i reckon i have seen just about every major brand of pad have noise issues in both those calipers. It might only happen 1 or 2 in every 10 sets you sell.

Sorry but to answer the question we have pads that are generally not noisy but just can't guarentee it. Bendix heavy duty and the Hawk ceramic pads are very good and like the Remsa we have minimum issues with them.

I have also recently got the Remsa pads and fine them very noisy. I'm half tempted to put the stock ones back on but the stopping power is much better.

I have hit the skids pretty hard a couple of times and it's reduced the squeal, but comes back every now and then

Did you fit new rotors or have them machined? This is also the C5 caliper pad correct being a BA GT ? All this info helps identify where the problems are when we come to them and for future reference.

Thanks for the reply Matt.
I can confirm the rotors were new rda'a but I understand squeeling can happen and is rare. Supercheap do have a spray for pads that apparently stops squeeling I'm unsure if you've heard of it or would recommend not using it?

Cheers,
Rob

Is it the one for spraying the back of the brake pad ? That would be fine but copper grease we have found is the best product.
