Default PBR Ceramics- After searching I like these, but do they make noise (like a squeeking one)?

Finally I decided on a brake pad for the rears... I tihnk I am going to give PBR Ceramics a try... Since this is my DD I want pads that will not squeek when coming to a stop. I have found conflicting posts on sound.

Do these pads squeek when coming to a stop? Does that antisqueel gel you put on the back of the pads cure this noise if it occurs?

TIA

Sometimes they do. It is not bad though, very slight and only when braking very softly.

Default After I got mine stinking hot in Colorado, they haven't made a peep. I love those pads

They are a little dusty, but that's a minor trade off.

Make sure you bed them well and get them really hot. Then you won't need anti-squeak at all.

Default I had them on front and rear. Front squeaked liked crazy even with anti sqeal. The rears dont make

any noise and there is no anti squeal on them. They are very dusty more so than OEM. B6 model i have.

Then you didn't bed them properly. My dust is on par/less than OE.
