brake squeal

[monsterchub]

Just fitted new front brake discs, now have annoying squeal when I apply the brakes. How can I quick fix this problem??

I think brake squeal comes from vibration between piston and pad (that's what I was told anyway ...I'm no expert!). Did you fit the shims ? I think a small smear of copper grease on the back of the pad can help ?

I had the same when i replaced mine 2 months ago. The pads came up with "anti squeal" soft pad that you stick on the back of the pad. This "anti squeal pad" got actually crumbled by the piston and produced squeel. Removed the pad and everything is fine.

As for the copaslip I was told it is not recommended for the brake as it generates static electricity and better to use ceratec or any other brake lube.
