Squealing Front Wilwood Calipers - remedy ?
Discussion
Hi Guys
Just wondered if anyone has any magic solutions to stop the squealing my new Wilwood Superlites are making on my Griff
It's only below 20 mph, but a bit of a bind in traffic
Tried some Bendix anti squeal fluid and copper grease. Bendix stuff didn't work at all, copper grease worked for about 10 miles.
I am running Poly E pads on Tarox grooved Cossie 500 (285mm) discs. There are no anti squeal shims between pistons and pads, but not sure if they should have any. (will ask Rally Design on Monday)
Anyone help ?
Cheers
Andy
ps Still...makes a change to have brake problems below 20 mph rather than over 100 mph

I'm not familiar with those pads, but things I'd try in order:
ensure there is no brake dust stuck to the caliper around the pads
coppaslip between the pistons and the pads,
pad anti-squeal paste (high temperature non-setting adhesive) between pistons and pads
chamfer the leading edge of the pads
My Wilwoods don't suffer noticeably from squeal using DS2500, but in the past when I've had brake squeal problems one or other of the above have always fixed it.
