Hi folks,

Had a set of Pagid Group N+ disks and pads (supplied by TSL) fitted to my classic MY00 a couple of months back. This is the third set i've used. The guys that fitted them (not TSL!) didn't do a particularly good job I felt, as after a few hundred miles bad squeaking emerged. they could not resolve this, so did a bit of research myself and had a chat with TSL. The cure was copper grease which has done the trick.

My problem though is that I get a clonking clattering noise from both front calipers whenever I go for the brakes or after I release them - I'm pretty sure it's the pad moving within the caliper, between the disk and piston, but how do I stop this?

I've heard about shimes, but there don't appear to be any fitted - should there be? Are shimes the cure? If so, where do I get them for a standard OEM 4pot caliper fitted under a 16" wheel.

the O.E. shims are only available from Subaru....................might be wise to make sure they have refitted the pad retainers, etc correctly..........

Check the bolts holding the caliper on too. A garage did mine once and I found a bolt loose !

Thanks for the input. The pad retainers are all fitted correctly, whilst checking that's when I noticed the missing shims. As for the caliper bolts, will check tonight.

I have ordered from Subaru a new set of shims, so hopefully will sort out the problem. I'll take the opportunity to give the whole thing a bit of a spring clean whilst bits are apart and throw some copper slip in there too.

Once again, thanks for your help.
