Mintex 1144 recently put on my car all around with new discs. However brakes seem to squeal a lot.

Has anyone else used these pads?

I have plenty of copper grease between pads and Pistons on brakes, and no brake is sticking on too.

Any thoughts / comments would be great full.

Thanks

Do you have a part number or link for the 3M pads?

Thanks guys. The noise driving out yesterday sent me mad!! People were looking at me, not for the sound of the engine but the bloody brakes...

I just use the car for normal road use, so what are good normal pads to use? I don't wish to purchase expensive pads again. Also any makes I should steer clear of??

Thanks

Mine are all new with new discs. They get worse with heat.

Ordered new normal pads and will be changing them in the week.

I just have standard discs too.

Have to admit very disappointed, as not a cheap pad. Only done few hundred miles on them.

I found as they got warm and under light braking they squeal like a pig!!

Don't think any passenger would be too happy with me stamping on brakes for every stop. Noise is gone but from the partner (good lady) would probably give me more noise if drove like that....
