With the summer heat and humidity here my brakes are squealing like a pig!
I currently have mtec grooved and mintex pads.
I know this is a major issue with lots of people and I don't want to waste my money trying loads of different combos.
What disc and pad combo will gaurantee no squeal?
Can budget £200 to solve this.
Is it true that ferodo pads are squeal free?

Stock pads are the only ones that do not squeal.
Otherwise you can add shims to the mintex pads that you have - it will help, but not eliminate the squeal completely

Alex; hmm, I've also got mtec, just grooved though, all round, maybe if I stick yellow stuff on the front then it might cure it.
I think mine only squeal at the front.

i have OMP pads and DBA grooved discs and no squeal, the OMP pads were £45 and perform great so bit of a bargain, had pagid on before that and they squealed
make sure you use lots of copper slip when fitting the pads

It's the Mintex pads that are the source of your squealing. They're utter crap IMO. Hate them! I liked the mintex 1155's that I had on my coupe - if they squealed I just got them really hot, that would fix it for a few days.

My mintex didn't squeel after I had my brembo's properly serviced. I think some pads are more *likely* to squeel than others. But with the pad guides clear an plenty of copper slip used, none should squeel. Ross

Well the omp pads have just turned up. Will fit them Fri or sat.
I take it the 2 leads on 2 of the pads are abs leads? My mintex pads didn't have them so will have to look to see if there's any connectors under the wheel arch.

Has no one experienced any squeal with the yellow stuffs?
I've read on the TT forum some of the guys had real problems with squealing.

ST Oh I had a nightmare with some those discs but apparently there was an issue with the batch mine came from. They were helpful and pretty good about a refund.

Mtec drilled/grooved + standard pads. They dont squeal (after initial bedding in) Just dont expect to go all the way to Spa, and be able to stop from 100mph + more than a couple of times before the pads overheat

ive got 3G discs and yellow stuff pads and they dont make a sound and they take alot of crap from late braking Ok I suppose You don't stress them brakes that hard then... I think they're ok but definately not better than std Fiat pads. If You want serious stopping power; look for Carbotech, etc. Then EBC looks like a joke...

Er...... fiat pads are pure mush after some hard braking, whereas the yellowstuff's still have some feeling in them and still work. Yes more expensive pads will be better, but for general day to day use, EBC are a good choice (apart from green stuff) Ross

UPDATE: fitted the omp pads this afternoon whilst at work, didn't have a lot on so got stuck in.
The pads needed grinding down each end as they were a bit of a tight fit.
Just took the coop out to test and so far no squealing!
I'm off out for a little drive to bed them in tonight so will post feedback.

The squeal normally starts after a day or so in my case.
Good luck!

I've had to chuck away a brand new pair of Textar pads as they drove me insane with the squealing. Nothing I did helped, so will see what happens with the next pair!
