New brake discs, pads all round and now mega squeaking!

[sinbrad]

Ok, as part of my recent overhaul of many things the brakes were one of them. I've had new discs, pads etc fitted and they do nothing but squeal when applied. I've had the brakes
stripped and rebuilt by VX and they still squeal. I had drilled and grooved discs before and didn't have any noise what so ever. I've now got solid discs all round and wondered if this was
the problem. The pads are VX pads so don't think it's them. Any ideas?

cheers

how many miles have you done since they where fitted?

Just over 130 miles. I was thinking that they needed bedding in but didn't know what the average mileage would be to achieve this?

for the back of the pads stops the squeal,saying that the last set of pads i had had some tape stuff on the back,but i ripped it off and bunged some slip on

I use copper grease on the backs of the pads

Not a Calibra but my sons Corsa, he's just fitted new discs and pads and you can see the Copper slip on the back of the pad.

Not me Fraz that would be Toby that's the way he was shown at college, he's bloody good with brakes and they only just fit in the wheels.

Mark can you take that pic off before Shane sees the discs and shocks

[sinbrad]

Copper grease was put on during both the first fitment and the second strip and rebuild, still squealing. Is there a difference between slip and grease or is it just a different name for the same stuff? Is it a case of more rather than less?

[v6 steve]

same stuff mate are they cheap pads we fitted a set off cheap pads and new discs they made some noise we tooke them to bits a couple of time but the noise was still there but the noise has now gone so it most just be beding in
