Hello all,

I recently replaced the brakes on all 4 corners of my 2000 XJR with Brembo blank (no slots/drilling) replacement rotors (325mm front, not the 355mm Brembo brakes that came on the 100s) and EBC Redstuff pads. I properly bedded them in, and have been driving on them for about a week. While the stopping power is excellent and they work well in all other regards, they will intermittently squeal at low speeds under light-moderate pressure. It doesn't happen every time, and if I brake fairly hard once it almost always makes it go away, or at least changes it. Is this just the nature of the Redstuffs? Will it go away after time? Is there some little trick I missed during the installation? If anyone has experienced something similar and found a good solution, please share!

 

Hi your problem is called harmonic vibration this can be stopped by putting copper grease on the back of the pads and on contact points where pads contact guides.

 

Welcome to BREMBO, they all do that, all cars with Brembo's.... .Evos, Vettes....etc. My 02 XJR with Brembo's do the same thing

 

Can't remember ever having this with the Hawk Ceramic pads on these brembo systems, at least not in the last 120Kmiles.
