    Since I had new discs and pads it NEVER shuts up!

    Is it the pads in the calipers?

    Standard drilled discs and xp8's. Amazing stopping power but my god the noise!

    Bleh, I thought they were quieter than others! It only stops when I lightly brake, heavy brake changes the squeal to a squeak :wink:

    Until you've used Dixcel you cant complain about noise lol :wink:

    Is it a constant noise? Possibly pad touching disc all the time, May be worth making sure they are able to move freely in the caliper, I always grind/file the edges of my pads down so they are loose in the caliper to allow for expansion when hot.
     
  5. my xp8`s on drilled disks never squealed,but sounded like the pads where in back to front at low speed braking.
    my latest set on plain brembos dont make any noise at all.
    bizarre.
