Default My Ferodo DS2500 pads STILL make noise

I was told to "re-bed" them and I did, 2 times. However, the noise is still there at low speed when I break. It does not care if it's warm or cold, they still make noise.

I was told "If rebedding doesn't seam to help, remove the pads & sand down a bevel on the leading edge."

Can someone extend on this?

What kind of sand paper do I need, how fine does it need to be?

How much do I sand out, just the lip, if any?

I don't want to F it up.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2702624.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2702624.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default maybe 1/4"?

I'll do that when I finally install my alcons. I'll also apply some anti-squeal stuff to the backsides of the pads.

Default Have you applied anti squeel compound to the back of the pads?

Just got some OEM pads for the rear of my car, they are beveled on leading and trailing edges. The bevel is fairly significant, enough that you certainly notice it. I don't know if this helps you any. My pads made tons of noise until I applied lithium grease to the backside.

Default to sand them all you gotta to is beval down the 90* on the corners of the pads.

I always did this when i worked at midas.

Default I had some trouble with my HPS squealing, I beveled one side down, it was quiet...

so I did the other side. Easy little experiment, works wonders. I used a basic file and took a tiny bit off.
