Default Carbotech Bobcats and Diversified Slotted Frozen rotors still squeak...

Cant take it anymore. After a year my pads and/or rotors still squeal at low speed stops. When I come to a complete stop the front brakes make a sound like the are shaving the rust off the rotor. (This is not the case but the only analogy I could think of) Should I take off the pads? The rotors? Or both? And then replace with stock braking equipment. TIA

Default hmm. Here is what I did.....

I use the same setup for the street. No squeaking at all here. I used a high temp lube on the 2 pins the caliper slides on. I also used anti squeal compound (I think it's called "disk brake quiet") on the back of the pads. Never had a single peep out of them. Oh, I also followed the directions with the pads for break in.

Default Funny you should mention... But I used this for the squeaks and rattles that had me hell bent on

kicking my doors in because it was driving me nuts. Looks like it can be used on brakes up to 500?F.

Default Clean and lube the calipers

Lube the sliders, and make sure the surfaces where the pads rest are clean and free of gunk.
Anti-squeal paste can also be added to the backs of the pads.

We've been selling this pad for a couple years, and they really should be a quiet pad.

Default It is almost embarrassing that I am driving a $50k+ car that squeaks this bad...

Not type of attention I want creeping up to an intersection.
