Aztec Performance Discs
 
Just arrived this morning 326mm front discs, drilled and grooved and set of kevlar pads..

Cant wait to get them fitted:cool:

Did you fit anti-squeal shims by any chance Del?

Don't think so m8 I just used the stuff I got and the metal plates (shim things) that I had ony old brakes, as I said I'm no mechanic I just grudge paying the labour costs whn I can give it a go myself , I found the squealed whn they were warm but I don't do track days its jus my daily drive so swapped the Kevlar for cheep mintex and the squeal was gone , cheers del

We don't tend to get squeal issues on these pads by and large. The anti-squeal shims we sell are very effective.

Glad you got it sorted in the end, obviously the OEM/Mintex pads won't have the fade resistance of the Kevlar pad which is a fast road pad, but if the squeal is gone and you are happy that's the main thing. :)

i have a similair set up from braketech. Mines also squeal after having been fitted to the car over a year ago. I've approached Aztec who advised accordingly.

The squeal is very intermitten but tends to happen not on hard braking at gradual braking. Like above I have not had the anti-squeal shims fitted as the car has the standard metal shims which were adequate and fine for the first year.

p.s. they are a good setup but i have nothing to compare them with. I guess any setup is difficult to judge when you're braking heavy with so much force and load to start with.

On my second set from Godspeed, neither set has ever squealed.

Mine use 335mm two-piece discs.
