4800 miles, and the front brakes still insist on squeaking when cool just prior to coming to a rest. What is the cure for this annoying squeal ?

Mr.Manchester

your not alone, my mates got the same on his MY02 and it only done 600 miles

Forget it. My Brembos with Piagid pads (MY01 JDM STI RA) are still sounding like a bus while coming to a gentle stop. 25000kms already. Its the price to pay for performance items.

RT,I disagree. My AP 4pots with Mintex 1155's never squeeked once and yet both the standard brakes on my MY00 and the Brembo's on my STi both squeek (mainly though when reversing).

If I had to guess, I would say that the pad compound used in the STi's is a cost compromise.....

My MY99 NEVER squealed in 33,000 miles, except the rear discs in hot weather in reverse. The calipers are the same on the front, whats going on ?

Try Ferodo DS2500. No sound whatsoever.
