I fitted EBC discs and yellowstuff pads to a BMW Z4 a few years ago, they were truly awful, wooden, no feel whatsoever and the squeal from the pads was irritating.

I had Padgid discs and pads and they used to be very squeaky, still have the pagid discs and replaced the front pads with EBC red stuff, cleaned them all up with brake spray cleaner and used Cera Tec lube when reassembling them.

I've changed the vibration dampers to new ones and it's still the same, albeit it went away for the first few drives after doing all this but has since returned.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone offer me some advise to remedy my dreadfully noisy brakes. When I bought my 4s the garage replaced the rear discs and pads with pagid parts. Ever since they were fitted they squeal really badly on braking. I've taken them all to bits, cleaned all parts, checked for glazed faces etc which was all fine. I've changed the vibration dampers to new ones and it's still the same, albeit it went away for the first few drives after doing all this but has since returned. I did all the usual bedding in recommendations so I'm at a loss other than change the pads for an alternative manufacturer....it's driving me mad ! Any suggestions on a remedy ? Cheers

POST 2Original post

Have you taken the fronts off for a de-glaze also? Or are you certain it is only the the rears that are definitely making all the racket?

POST 3Original post

I had Padgid discs and pads and they used to be very squeaky, still have the pagid discs and replaced the front pads with EBC red stuff, cleaned them all up with brake spray cleaner and used Cera Tec lube when reassembling them. The squeak has gone and and 2k in they are still silent, going to put EBC red stuff on the rear now as the brake dust reduction on the front is very noticeable and they work well for road use.

POST 4Original post

I fitted EBC discs and yellowstuff pads to a BMW Z4 a few years ago, they were truly awful, wooden, no feel whatsoever and the squeal from the pads was irritating. I tried all sorts of bedding in tricks but nothing ever worked,it has put me off aftermarket braking components. The only good bit was the lack of brake dust from the EBC pads.
