pic 1 and grease both sides but if you think 2 is right, why not go the whole hog and install with lip to the inside, but put the shim between the pad and disc! (just kidding, sorry)

well I got this trade stuff they use at the garage - Tunap 113 micrologic - slapped a load in on Friday night and took it for a spin - it was a considerable difference - then gradually over the weekend its started to get worse, and yup they were looking quiet shabby (corrosion wise) looks like a rebuild is needed but the paste idea was a good step in the right direction - i'm hoping that usage might resolve the remaining sqweeks

well after reading another thread I think I might well just have to take it for a nice blast in germany up and down the local autbahn..... To Really get some high speed usage out of the pads - it might resolve the noises (please resolve it) or else its a stripping time arrrrrrgh more time in the garage R00

I used pagid cera tec instead of copper grease, been squeal free for over a year. Yep, I concur, I have the same set up as James, Shims and Cera-Tec - Pagid black pads and 3G 20 groove discs on the front. I had terrible squeal with just the shims, but after completely cleaning of the previous copper grease off and applying liberal amounts of cera-tec to both sides of the shims where the piston meets the plate I cured the imfamous 20VT sqeal No more hiding at traffic lights & junctions and my hand brake gets some time off Use it it's Grrrrreat P.S. I only cleaned the piston faces and the back of the pads and the shims. I had no need to re-build the calipers
