I have AP 4 Pot Brake upgrade on my MY99 STI-V, Running Padgid blues, no probs at all with the braking performance, in fact very impressed, but hard braking I have no probs, but in town or low speeds the brakes squeak like a biatch, it's getting annoying, anyone else suffer with the same problem?? (De glazed the pads once, they seem fine)

Could it be a pad / disc combination problem?

Cheers

APR brakes do not squeal. Have you got the anti-squeal clips on the back of the caliper? What is the exact specification of your brakes?

you know the answer to this you plumb as you've been out in mine which doesnt squeal at all.

The only difference from mine to yours are :-

1. poss different sized discs tho i dont think so
2. PADS!
3. yours are the older style caliper with checkered flag on.
