Dixcel discs and ferrodo pads - squeaking like mad!!

[wantadc5]

Hello guys,

i had my front brake setup changed about 2500 miles and 4 months ago, and lately as in the last 1000 miles it has been squeaking like crazy!!

Any solutions? It feels as though it still stops fine, although a couple of times ABS has kicked in, and the brakes didn't overly confident for some reason.....brake fliuds and grease make a difference?

Could be possible that they have glazed over. That happened to my standard pads a while ago, and they squeaked really loudly at slow speeds.
I was told to take it for a fast drive with lots of heavy braking to remove the glazing, which worked and they haven't squeaked since. Could be worth a try?

you really should match the disc and pads...............otherwise they just wont work all that well.

Agreed. Mixing doesn't mean they won't work well together.

No they won‘t, Dixcel disk are designed for Carbon compound pads only, they don‘t like Steel based pads.
