Well the EBC grooved and DS2500 are fitted...but...

[Funkyfin2000]

will do, garage already said, its the discs as well (its midvw!) and of course i supplied them...

maybe they do need more than 4 days run in and only about 100 miles!

Mine make very little noise at all. And the performance is brilliant, even more so when they have warmed up a bit.

 

[G2232]

yeah keep us in formed as its bugging me whats causing it although i can deal with the noise as long as i know they are working fine

 

[STEVEO@CYMRU]

likewise i will live with the noise as long as they are safe ,mine have been on 583miles now and i did bed them in properly and they feel fine when i use them so i will wait and see what comes off it . just glad im not the only one with this problem (if you know what i mean)

I have this exact same combo on at the mo, and they were a little rubby ounder breaking for the first few hundred miles, after a few thrashing sessions they have stopped now, can only hear them as slow speed with the drivers window open, the grooves cause a noise under breaking (you should have been in the car with the old discs on) that was noisy, but they never effected the performance of the breaking system. I understand your paranoia, im the same with noises from the car, but all disk and pad combos make different noises, depending on the depth of the groves, how many etc etc etc, i say if you have has it checked, dont bother wasting any more money persuing this issue, 3 garages can not be wrong really...can they! Stop driving the car like a granny, put a little trust in it and throw a few high speed stops at it repetedly, get it all mega hot and then see how you go...if the problem still exists then maybe...do something about it if you can hear it over the radio.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

lol i don't want to get it hot and warped whilst in its 1st 100 miles!

Bedding them in takes about 500 miles....and i want to take it easy at first...done about 100 miles..

Bedding in and miles are so much fun!
If you think about it, is it breaking for 500 miles, or driving gently for 500 miles, or racing gently for 500 miles, or... The list goes on!

Yep, it's Friday, and I'm more strange than usual.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

weirdddddddddd

 

[DodgyDave]

Yea ... interesting .. it's almost like the "how should you run an engine in" threads that pop-up

I've got a Stoptech kit (amazing, but costly) and have always follows about the same advice they have for bedding-in new brakes:

http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_bedinstock.shtml

It's also a wonderful site for general brake info - things like " it's almost impossable to truely warp disks"

[Funkyfin2000]

hmm well upon testing i get this....

sometimes it makes a noise like the griding sometimes now....

but basically when i get it is, ive braked and leave off the brake, then it makes the noise (bit like the caliper isn't coming back out to take the pad away from the disk) but if i brake again or at some point i can get it to go away!

VEry annoying!

 

[ibizacupra]

nope its not a faint clicking noise, its like quite a big clicking noise, and it happens when you don't apply brakes intemitedantly as well....

and when you turn in sometimes...

im not that impressed tbh, badger bill rcommended them as the best disk and pad set up......cost me £520 this lot! Not best pleased!

DS2500 without question the best pads for fast road use yes.
grooved disks will ALWAYS be noiser than plains... they have grooves.. (Ultimax should be quieter than turbo grooved as narrower grooves, TG are louder rumble when braking hard... normal)
clicking tho? that'nt not a normal occurance.

Did they clean off the hub face before installing the disks? eg: make sure flat face for disk to sit on.. potential runout otherwise.

Difficult to understand a "noise" by forum description.

 

[ibizacupra]

will do, garage already said, its the discs as well (its midvw!) and of course i supplied them...

FFS man........
bed them in and give em a chance dude!

 

[Funkyfin2000]

well went to the garage this morning...****ing sorted itself out on the way there!

tis fine now, it appears so apologies for this! just needed probably bedding in!!!

Sorry Bill

But i did have them smoking when i arrived back which was a bit worrying

 

[DodgyDave]

Smoking is nothing to worry about on new brakes - it'll just be the machining coating burning off when the disks (finally) get up to a good temp.



Dave

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah thats alright then, looked a little weird when my neighbour saw smoke piling out the disks! hehehe!

working then

'smokin...

burning off the nasties....

 

[Funkyfin2000]

oh aye took it for a spirted run on the way home..

theres absolutly no noise at all under breaking now!

Sorted!

 

[ibizacupra]

I suspect the sharp edges from machining, square edges on new pads were eating into each other, and have now worn off. smoothed..
glad its sorted..

 

[STEVEO@CYMRU]

gonna give mine a kicking today and see if mine get any quieter tho i have done 500+ miles
