Unhappy slow brake squeal

had some brembos discs fitted (group buy) on the front maybe 3/4 months ago and some black diamonds on the back put on at the same time after some difficulty with deposits vibrations on braking a good burn out did the trick I now have a squeal at low speeds -30mph and when light pressure is applied to the pedal. At high speed with greater pressure they are fantastic sturdy strong only problem under really heavy braking there is a roar when coming to the last few feet before coming to a final stop

Only help I can give is that I have Mintex pads and they squeal at speeds of around 5-10mph (under no braking). Maybe its just the pads.

Im with Postman. Had the mintex pads and at low speeds they squealed really badly. Brake hard and get them hot and they're fine. It took them about eight months to stop squealing altogether.

Pi@@es you off though doesn't it!!
