I'm using Project-Mu B-force pad right now

and it Squeeks Terribly.

not even slow stopping but also

fast stopping. it screams!!!

Even Louder than Bus!!


Problem is.

I installed in the shop and they told me

that I don need shim for this pad (Project- Mu)

and he also told that he cannot put shim because it gets too thick

that he cannot put in.



I just believed him

and now i have this problem.

what is right or wrong?

do I have to use shim with Project mu or not?

 

I have teh B force pads. Yes you need the factory shims. Yes they fit and finally, yes the guy that did your brakes is full of sh*t. Check out the install threads.

BTW. even with the shims I get a tiny squeal every now and then... nothing like what your describing though.

 

i agree.

 

I have teh NS pads and mine have NEVER squealed. They've been on the car for almost ayear now.

 

B-force! owns the Sh8t out of weak NS pads!

Seriously NS are better street pads, with less metal content, but will fade on the track. Higher temp range pads have more metal content, thus more screech (Racing pads are brutal). I only got teh "B-Force!" because everyone local was out of NSs and i got a deal.

 

I got a deal on the NS pads and my car has never and probably will never see a track day so they do fine for me. My buddy uses the same pads and they work fine autocrossing. I mainly got them cause I was tired of the dust and cleaning my Volks every time I backed my car out of the garage.

 

i have project m pads and mine is probably louder than yours...... it sux! where can i get new shims?

 

dealer?

 

Mine squeals with the shims but am adding anti-squeal probably this weekend and will let you know if it fixes it.

 

if the squeals bother you that much:
1)Google "anti sqeak or anti squeal". It's a sort of stick stuff the goes on the back and sides of the pads. Stops the squeal.
2)Get DS2500 pads.
3)Or get pads that squeak and stop so well it's worth it. Mu HC+ or MAx900 are well worth it.
