Nah...I purposely risk changing to even softer brake pads than our stock. Cheapo non performance, non genting trip type of brake pads to eliminate possibility of hard performance brake pads with their metal compound causing those noise.
So far at standard driving, (not break in yet), it actually feels the same like stock. At least my stock for first 8 months, no noise, now mine with new non performance pads still got same noise, so it should not be the pads thats causing the problem, is it?
Oh...I'm not there when they fix the brake coz have to wait a couple of hours for the disc skimming guy to come on sat, so I cabut first and pickup car later in the evening. Tested with mechanic, looks fine....unfortunately for my first klang kl trip today it appear again, after warming up the brake sufficiently (half way thru during jam in kl).
At most if cannot fix, just live with it since its not so obvious if wind up windows which I do most of time but when braking when going down ramps especially in tunnel and basement, sound quite sharp, can hear. Wondering if it has been there all along, just softer earlier thus cannot hear in car, now louder and since I notice already, then i will keep noticing the noise liao.
Still wondering why brake got no noise earlier. I travel short distance nearby, all along no noise. Going from house to mid-way KL, no noise, after warm out, then noise appear. I would understand if noise already appear from the beginning, but why no noise when cold, until hot hot later only got noise?
Maybe I try asked them to grease brake caliper or may its pin is a bit loose....
last time i post about my screeching brake sound, no one reply, lot of spam. i send to SC and change the brakepad. i use the AMP parts which cheap than BOSCH. my last brakepad the steel already came out dont know how to describe but the pad are really thin until my disc touch the indicator steel
