Got a Shipment In

Sorry, but I would NEVER put anything on the friction surface of the pads. Maybe it's just me, but the manufacturer designs the pad's compound to function a certain way, I'm not going to mess with it.

Now Brake Quiet on the back of the pads, sure...

how hard do you brake with the breakin?

to the point of almost locking the wheels up....but dont let them lock.

ive got the exact same setup also.....brembo rotors and pbr ultimate ceramics....its a good setup for daily driveing....ive never experienced fade at all yet so have fun.

His aren't ceramics (I think someone else already may have pointed this out). I just use the anti-squeel pads that came with my ebc's ant they're dead silent. No dust really either. Power slot cryo'd rotors are awesome. You have to go big brakes to improve upon that setup IMHO.

poodles...pay attention before you post..

i never said put anything on the friction surface of the "pad"........i saaaaaaaaaaid was...."i cleaned the rotors off with alcohol"....as the brembos come with some nasty tacky grease on them to stop them from rusting.....which i liked the idea of cleaning off real well before install....thanks.

my bad....but everything still applies.

Sorry, wasn't aimed at you, was aimed at the OP, this part:

This is BG Brake Quiet. It gets applied to the friction surface of the pads and soaks in. I have an extra one from work and wanna use it. We apply it on all the pads we do (cash pay only, hehe). Can any harm be done here? I just wanted to verify before I used it.

 

[gaboonviper85]

quotes are awesome.

 

[Poodles]

Yeah, I forgot to quote it the first time :1zhelp:

you don't think i'll need brake quiet because they're 'softer' pads?
Organic pads wear quicker than ceramic pads, no?

make sure you have the shim plates and clips installed. so many supras i've seen without these and they wonder why their brakes make so much noise. now, there are types of pads they will be noisy due to design, but these won't be if you have the correct harware. you could add some break quiet to the shim if you wanted, but i wouldn't add to the pad material.

are the ceramics better than the organics? if so, how?

WOO!! you might see a supra rollin around there with the dubbers, haha

its funny how many vw shows and meets ive been to, and i have yet to be in a supra meet.

 

[TurboFreak]

It's because VW shows are THE BEST shows I've ever been to. They know how to have fun...

Mine squealed so bad with all new brakes. Put a new OEM shim kit and some normal brake lube on the shims(those lil packets at the checkout in parts stores). No sound at all now, Ive seen that brake quiet stuff that sort of expands into rubber. It always works great at first then fails within a few hundred miles from my experience.

true that, they're always alotta fun!



i didnt see this before. here's my break-in procedure on the box. it asks for light to moderate braking.
