honda4life, what kind ah car yuh have, different brands work better in different cars. GIC is a good all round reasonable brand, just have tuh clean black dust off yuh rims kinda often. I have had good performance with the Bosch too, bit more expensive dan the GIC. Wagner as well.

venum, read my first post and follow instructions doh chinks on d grease but doh go wild with it either or it go get on de rotor eventually. when yuh say grease d caliper ah getting ah vision of yuh dipping it in grease dat is not d idea eh.
hope yuh noise sort out man.

thanx for the advice man

will update when I do the greasing

Rubbing down the rotor after machining is a normal thing eh... I have seen it done myself.

WRT brake squeal, the BIGGEST problem comes from not having the proper shim kit. Your best bet is to get the original kits.

I lost my original set (when I had the Lancer) and for a couple years it squeaked. Tried all different brands of brake pads with shim kits and grease... the works! But it never stopped. Finally, I got a set of used shim kits in the bamboo. Problem solved.

allyuh should get some ceramic

Ceramic what?

ceramic brake pads

Why? What's the advantages? Cost? Applications?

Mitsu_Exec, premium is a quality rating, the GIC pads from FT are semi-metallic. For instance TSTT has been offering premium telecommunication services for how long?

Just because it says premium on the box doesn't mean anything.

It good tuh see yuh could read though, just not enough.

blazing, yuh absolutely right about the shims, even if yuh shims intact and the plastic coating come off yuh could get some problems with noise but I find it's effect does vary from car to car. I remove mines except for the stainless one on d piston side and ent get no noise. Also venum check yuh shield it could get involved in the orchestra sometimes.

bleedingfreak, ah just copy and paste here, cost yuh go have tuh find on yuh own, ah could tell yuh it expensiveish. Some original evo pads ceramic based

"Since they were first used on a few original equipment applications in 1985, friction materials that contain ceramic formulations have become recognized for their desirable blend of traits. These pads use ceramic compounds and copper fibers in place of the semi-metallic pad's steel fibers. This allows the ceramic pads to handle high brake temperatures with less heat fade, provide faster recovery after the stop, and generate less dust and wear on both the pads and rotors. And from a comfort standpoint, ceramic compounds provide much quieter braking because the ceramic compound helps dampen noise by generating a frequency beyond the human hearing range.

Another characteristic that makes ceramic materials attractive is the absence of noticeable dust. All brake pads produce dust as they wear. The ingredients in ceramic compounds produce a light colored dust that is much less noticeable and less likely to stick to the wheels. Consequently, wheels and tires maintain a cleaner appearance longer.

Ceramic pads meet or exceed all original equipment standards for durability, stopping distance and noise. According to durability tests, ceramic compounds extend brake life compared to most other semi-metallic and organic materials and outlast other premium pad materials by a significant margin – with no sacrifice in noise control, pad life or braking performance.

This is quite an improvement over organic and semi-metallic brake materials that typically sacrifice pad life to reduce noise, or vice versa."

my shields good

ah know how the noise from the shield does sound

mine ent sounding so at all

mine kinda sometimeish

last time i had that problem my mechanic took out the pads and took a hacksaw and cut a seperator in between the middle of the pad and this worked miracles,what had happened is that teh replacement ones come as a whole pad and not seperated in half like teh original so teh dust had no way to go so it just got stuck in between teh pad and rototr and caused it to sqeak after he did this it all went away
