Default Squeaky brakes.

Hi,

Just had some ap racing 6 pots fitted to my car. There a used set and could proberly do with a fresh set of pads.

When driving seem to sqeak (very annoying) as soon as i brake it stops. Would this be disc/pad related?

Cheers

do the AP's have pad wear indicators on them like OEM ones?

Edited as I actually read the post properly the 2nd time

Im unsure what pads they are. Yes they squeak whilst driving but stop when i brake.

Just going to get some better new pads i think as discs have plenty of life in them

normally a squeal on big calipers is where they rattle at slow speed but if they are squeaking at normal driving speeds sounds like the pads are wearing low
