Squeaky rear brakes

[cerbykev]

Just has new EBC sintered pads fitted to the rear callipers on my 05 plate DB9, but now have a horrendous squeal every time I brake! Plenty of copperslip applied, car only has 27k on the clock, went to have the discs skimmed to be to be they cant do them as it turns the diff, anyone got any suggestions as its totally spoiling the driving pleasure!! Any suggestions re different pads etc appreciated.

I had the same problem when I fitted EBC Red Stuff pads.

Find a straight clear road, take the car to 60mph, apply the brakes really hard, but do not come to a stop, do this 5 to 10 times.

I read it somewhere, and it worked for me.

EBC? Get onto EBC UK and they will send you out some 3M anti-squeal sticky material. They did with me, pads quickly removed, cut to size and stuck on the backs, and the squeak was gone.

Many of us in the US use BG Stop Squeal. My DB9 would squeal painfully until I'd do a couple of hard stops from speed. Then, after a while, it would start squealing again.
You apply the BG Stop Squeal (a black liquid) to the CONTACT side of the pads and let it soak in. It's pretty amazing. Most people buy it from eBay or Amazon.

also check the rear brake caliper, I have had that dragging before squeaking

I had problems with Brake noise on my 07. The pads that were on it squealed and when I went to EBC Yellow is was terrible. I tried to slightly skim the rotors but it didn't help. Note that the EBC pads do take time to seat as they have an aggressive break in layer and as I replaced both front and rear I expected noise until then.

Noise was bad for a weak then suddenly only noise from the rear. I decided that the car has more front brake bias than my previous cars so when not using the brakes heavily the fronts get enough to stop pad vibration but the rears do not. The noise is the pad vibrating in the caliper.

I contacted EBC in the US and they informed me of a bulletin from Aston covering installing the softer brake isolation pad. I bought new isolation pads and brake grease from the local dealer which ended up being about $100.

The old pads I'd taken off had a metal backing plate on them with older isolation pads attached to them. I pulled the old pads of the packing plate carefully trying not to bend the thin backing plate and reapplied the new isolation pads to the thin backing plate. I installed the thin backing plate to the brake pad, applied grease to the back of the isolation pad, to the edges of the brake pad backing plate (where it slides in the caliper, and the pins that slide through the pad retainer.

Since doing the above I've had no brake noise at all! I went with Yellows for track events per a friends recommendation and they work great and dust is a lot less (minimal). Also sent a thanks to the guy at EBC for pointing me in the right direction.

So I would look up the Aston brake pad bulletin SB0243V3. It works.
