EBC red-stuff noise
Have just fitted the above pads to the front of my MY99 and found i get a sort of clunking noise when i brake while reversing. This is the only noise i get and they're fine while braking normally(going forward!). I fitted them with the supplied stick-on anti-squeal shims. I assume these are fitted instead of the two normal metal subaru ones not as well as?
This is on Subaru 4-pots by the way.

About to change my front pads too. I am also wondering whichof the shims, if any, to use.
I am guessing that I would just use the outer metal shim as I have a stick on shim attached to the back of the pad. Can anyone confirm this before I take it all to bits?

There seems to be fair range of opinions on them, but generally I dont think they're particularly popular!

I had EBC red stuff on my Brembo's with standard discs and had no issues. They were comparable to standard pads. When I changed to EBC grooved / dimpled discs they were awfull because of noise and vibration under heavy braking. I have since changed to DS2500 with the EBC discs and everything much more normal feeling.
