R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 10/02/08 06:15 AM Share Posted 10/02/08 06:15 AM (edited) I took it in to Ford to get a 3000k check up and booked the car in for the 'spray man' to respray the rear sploiler after the scuff on the left corner was quite poorly disguised on delivery, and had a whinge about the slight brake squeal I'm getting from brand-freaking-new Brembos. He shook his shoulders and told me it wasn't anything unusual.Does anyone else experience this or has anyone said the right thing and got it fixed? I hear they spray anti-squeal on the rotors. GREAT fix Ford! Edited 10/02/08 06:16 AM by R-SPEC Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42529-r-spec-brake-squeal3500kms/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m 24d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 10/02/08 08:49 AM Share Posted 10/02/08 08:49 AM Mine squeel like a bastard, so did the PBR performance ones I had on the T.My Brambos will stop squeeling for a couple of days if I blast the calipers with water.Get used to it, there is no fix and it is standard with big brakes. Ferrari, Porsche and AMG all do it. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42529-r-spec-brake-squeal3500kms/#findComment-632521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I put BF brakes on it and to my delight no more shudder no matter how much crap I give them, but they squeel, Lovely.

I think it has something to do with the punishment they cop.Alot of performance brakes squeal, that's life. Try braking later if its safe to do so, the soft discs and pads glaze easily, so don't give em a chance to!

Posted 10/02/08 09:58 AM Share Posted 10/02/08 09:58 AM I find tapping out squeals in time with whatever song is on MMM usually turns some heads at red lights in the morning. Quite fun actually.
