Having fitted my Volvo 850 with the AP set up, callipers, rotors and matched with Carbotech pads, I’m getting lots of low speed brake squeal, drives me mad! I made sure I copper slipped the hell out of the of the pads, they were bedded in as per they should. The Callipers were refurbished, including new hardware etc

Has anyone had experience of this, should I spend a morning stripping them down again and seek some anti squeal shims etc?

Turning the radio up is simply not an option!!!

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, both funny and informative, I’m going to pop some anti squeal shims in regardless, another chap dropped me a PM about the pads too, they are mighty impressive I must say, fast road use and a handful of track days, if the shims do not help, well I guess I’m going to have to live with it!!!

Cheers though!!
