Default Re: ATE Ceramic Brake Pads & ATE Rotors

Noice!!! (no not a typo lol)

I too have stock pads on the fronts, my rears needed changing and instead of machining the rotors I just sourced Protex equivalents (~$78ea) and used Bendix General CT. (DB1999) Totalling $224 to square the rear end away.

After 2-3 odd weeks there was stuff all dust on them very happy, but (and it's a big butt) soon after that they started to squeal when reversing (didn't matter at what speeds either) not only annoying but embarrasing. I've only noticed this month that it's stopped. Fitted nearly 12mths ago (man that goes quick). That sucked...now just have to work on the fronts when they are needed.

I get the feeling low dust pads are harder pads and need a little more pedal input, that and any kind of creeping movement from stationary they creak a bit noise wise. I'd like to hear your thoughts when you fit yours in that aspect.
