Brake squealing

**T5frankie** · Wednesday 15th May 2013, 17:59

when i had my 280's on the osf brake was squealing loudly, not when braking hard but probably slowing down slowly from 30, very loud and embarrassing sounding like a bus, so i put on the 302's and different pads and its still bloody doing it, i put lots of copper ease on the pad and the car stops dead in a straight line so wouldn't have thought it was a sticky caliper, never squeals when foot is off the peddle either. Any ideas?

I ended up getting some stuff to put on the back of the pads when I had this problem, it set like rubber ones its dry. What pads are you using?, have you got the police spec ones or just normal ones?
