are the AEM full metallic brake pads supposed to sqeak when they are cold?

Running shims and grease?

Metallic pads should, more than likely, squeak.

 

So they make 2 types of brake pads?

I thought they only made one type of pad (ceramic-Kevlar fiber material).

FWIW: I have the ceramic-Kevlar ones and they don't squeak at all.

 

mine didn't squeak until the sensors came up.

good brake pads.

yes, i am running shims with grease, they only sqeak the first couple of times i use them after my car has been sitting for a while, as they warm up, they dont sqeak at all.

I would re-install them, then, making sure that the tabs on the shims aren't bent and that there was enough grease on the shims and back of the pad and that nothing was loose.

All in all, probably something compound related, but I've never heard of folks complaining about noise from AEM pads (those were the ceramics, though). Metallic pads are noisier.

 

thanks for the advice

 

hey peter, you know what i would do right..........GET RID OF EM.... .....im just kidding...just keep telling people that they are racing pads and that they are crazy.....
