Question

Help needed please...

I've just fitted a kit from TSL, - group n discs and ferrodo ds2500 pads.... but, when I turn right, I get a squeak - squeak, squeak, in time with the road speed, seems to die off a bit if I press the brakes, I used coper ease when I fitted them all so any thoughts?

sounds like it could be either a sticky caliper or the pad...
which caliper??

it's the 4-pot sti set up.... right hand side caliper is making the noise.

I did liberally spray the good old brake cleaner stuff, but there might be some crap under the dust seal that hangs the piston? Is that what you mean? I'll take a look on saturday.

thanks m8

take the pads back out and make sure the top and bottom of the caliper (internally) where the pad moves in and out (calm down.....) is free from crud

I also got the same problem, but when I am driving on the motorway or around town, it mainly comes from the left side front, u guys got any ideas as what it could be, I am thinking of giving TSL to c if they can point me in the right direction !
