Brake Squeal (Sprt Pkg)

Hotrodz · 05-28-2016, 09:10 AM

There is no hate for EBC on the forum, lots of folks run red or yellow stuff. I run red stuff when I'm not running Carbotech. I no problem with them making noise.

I have the Yellowstuff's on my '13 Grand Cherokee TrailHawk (my DD), and my '08 PowerWagon (which see LOTS of off-road). The Yellowstuff have been great pads on them.

I run the Yellowstuffs on my Nismo when I'm not doing trackdays. I have used the Yellowstuffs for trackdays when I first started out. But when I got more seat time. I had to move to the 10/8 combo.

Hey I have some brake squeaking on my G37S coupe, same brake set up as the Z sport. It makes this sound almost all the time. Always when it’s colder out. Sound will go away if I stomp harder on the brakes. It is super annoying. I have plenty of pad life left. I greased using Syl Glyde for the back of the pads and shims. And the green permatex stuff for the 4 corners of the pads and the 2 metal pins and a bit on the metal plates where the pins slide through. The sound went away for a month but then came back worse then ever. I re-greased again recently but it didn’t even help at all this time lol brakes squeaking all the time. Any recommendations?

I finally got rid of the noise by doing the following:

Front
New Centric 125 High Carbon Rotors
New Akebono ASP1346 Performance Pads (Yellow Box,NOT blue)

Rear
New Centric 120 Rotors
New Centric Posi-Quiet Pads

Pads were only 50% worn but I literally tried every lube and trick out there (inclu BG Stop Squeal) and the squeal always came back.

Other Tips:
Clean/wipe out all the old brake dust!
I used CRC Synthetic Brake Grease on the back and corners of the pads.
Don't use Akebono ProAct Pads.... crazy loud on sport brakes.

I should mention that it ended up being both front and rear brakes squealing on me.

I'm sure Akebono Performance Yellow Pads would work great on the rears as well, but I didn't want to mess up a good thing.

PS Brake Dust is amazing on the Akebono Pads

Hey thank you for the tips! I will try cleaning everything again and using crc grease and see how it goes. I was hoping to not have to buy new brakes and rotors lol but I guess it may come to that if I can’t stop it
