The front pads are QFM HPX and rears are QFM superX.They work f*cking great besides the sequel. they seem quieter when I give em heaps, but surely I shouldnt have to do 100 then come to a quick stop and do it again, inotherwords they have to be very very hot to stop squealing.....Also when I brought them from a well knwn brake shop they gave me DB1086 for the rear, which is the same as the ford pad just slightly lower pad thickness, (that's what I was told, and they fit and looked identical lol).also I cleaned off the disks before installing and bedding everything, any sugestions?

Pretty sure a few guys have run the HPX's and had to grind off a bit on either end of the pad to stop squeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinkDon't take away too much though. I think most guys have taken off max 10mm top and bottom at like a 45 degree angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most guys have taken off max 10mm top and bottom at like a 45 degree anglethanks. I have done this to the rears as I just attempted to adjust the handbrake (did not work, f*cking stupid handbrake haha) anyway I just used the cement to make the angle of the pad on bothedges on the pad and it seems to of helped allot, brakes still squeal bit not as bad, pretty certain the fronts need doing it aswell, also I used some CRC brake goop stuff on the rear pads while I had them off.I will do the fronts and see how it goesotherwise these brak pads are sooo bloddy grippy, stopping from 100 I nearly went through the windshield lol (just wanted to see how good they were haha)thanks for all the tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
