EBC Greenstuff pads and Powerslot rotors...squealing like pigs! Any ideas? I recently put EBC Greenstuff pads and powerslot rotors (front and rear) on my 99 TA. At first, they were great, but now they squeak all the time. I've had 'em for like 400 miles now.
It usually happens at under 20mph, but it may happen at any time. It's making the car sound like crap, to the point where I'm ready to rip 'em off and put the warped stock junk back on.
Any ideas for handling squeaks and squeals? They're NEW pads, and they seem to brake fine.
No goofball answers, like "wax your rotors," either. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: EBC Greenstuff pads and Powerslot rotors...squealing like pigs! Any ideas? Some aftermarket pads are like that man! Sometimes you have to sacrifice a little comfort for a little performance. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I have never dealt with those pads specifically, but I do know that some pads squeak while others don't . I would try some different pad and rotor combinations until you find one that works. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: EBC Greenstuff pads and Powerslot rotors...squealing like pigs! Any ideas? I've got Green Stuff pads with Eradispeed rotors and no noise. Try some stop squeek for disc brakes on the back of the pads in areas that have metal to metal contact. You can get this at any auto parts store.

Re: EBC Greenstuff pads and Powerslot rotors...squealing like pigs! Any ideas? definatly coat the back of the pads w/anti-squeek. the blue spray is by far the best and happes to be what we used on caddys when i was a tech. i think most auto parts places have it. good luck that squeek crap is SO annoying!!
