Squeaky brakes
Just recently fitted some new discs and pads to my focus rs and they squeak quite badly, anyone else have the same probs, if so have you managed to cure it?
Thanks

did u put any copper grease on the back of the pads? not the friction material side as it would make braking quite tricky
also did you clean the caliper from the brake dust
oh and what pads/disc combo did you use

Yes put copper grease on the backs and cleaned the calipers.
Got the pads from Graham Goode and discs came from my mate who works in a parts place they are genuine ones tho......

Give it a few miles and it may go away - when i fitted my AP 6 pots got slight squeal for approx 100miles but after that they were fine

Mine squeek like hell! Propper WRC style, same calipers as Evos but the FRS disks are 5mm bigger, and they do the same!
