Brake squeal - what would you do next?

[matchtheclown]

Dude the A1RM is QFM's super race spec pad right... They are naturally going to squeal you would have ot be a magic man to get them not too imo.

They will probably also eat through your stock rotors super fast because they are so hard.

Honestly, go buy some benedix or other garden variety street pads... they will be great for the road and wont squeal. Swap in the A1RM's for the track and don't expect them to be quiet.

They will definatly eat your rotors in less than 18000kms. THere will be not slots visable if you had slotted rotors in that time as i've found

I feel for you Hugh, It seems with the majority of the people having squeaking problems have RDA rotors, I don't know if it helps anyone but ill be looking at getting a rotors/pads package from these guys:

minus the stainless lines and plus a couple of front seal kits.

I really want to avoid having these squealing problems.

Advise taken on board, after thinking about it it only takes me 5mins to swap each wheel brake pads.
So, i took off the QFM pads on the weekend, put the standard pads on. Hence, quiet no squealling problems.

I'll only use the A1RM pads for track day, easier that way...

Yeah that's the way to do it Dre.
