Hello guys,

just wondered if any of you guys might have any ideas asto why my brakes are doing this...
Basically, changed all disks and pads to EBC drilled and groved disks and red stuff pads about 400 miles ago. Just yesterday when my dad was driving it, i thought i heard a weird noise when he broke rather suddenly! (some idiot changing lane on dual carrigway without looking first!)

But i went out in it last night and noticed whenever you brake hard it makes a hoprrible noise as if its like metal on metal trying to stop the car, but the brakes still work perfectly well....... took a look when i got home and couldnt see no visible damage or anything all looked ok.... any ideas?

Probably going to leave it in the drive till the weekend and take the wheels off and have a closer look..... sounds like its coming from drivers side front, but could be wrong......

Cheers in advance for any help
Ash

 

was it a squeel? was copper greas used when installing the discs and pads?

could just be down to the pad compound

 

na wasnt a squeel, duno how to describe it really.... its like you could hear it gripping but sounded like it was slipping?! if that makes sense haha and yeah copper grease was used when installing them.

 

grooved disks do make a bit of a noise. sort of a vuv vuv vuv vuv vuv noise if you get me

i've got grooved disks and they were very noisy to start with but have gone silent now. i think the ones with the groov going all the way to the edge of the disk dont go silent though. maybe it was this??

 

possibly, although i havnt noticed it before? it was more of a scratching noise, like a train stopping lol i think im guna leave it till the weekend and take the wheel off have a proper look, cheers for help tho buddy. :thumbsup:

 

could be a stone or sumthin caught in the groove.

i noticed a groove/scratch cut into my disc a month after fitting them, a stone got caught in the grooves

that was a month ago now and my car passed its mot on friday so wasnt bad thank god!!

 

Ya i say it could be a stone or something caught, that happened on my rear brakes
