[W126 Coupe] Brakes Still Squealing

[Mike R.]

Did I just get lucky on brake squeal? I use PBR Metal Master pads on the
front with ATE slotted rotors and no squeal. Don't remember which
anti-squeal paste I used, something bright orange. 

 

Couldn't use semi-metallics on the back with new stock rotors because of the
squealing so those are Pagid. 

 

My 2-cents.

 

Later,

Ah...don't hot enough you say? You need to drive with me :-). Actually
though, now that I no longer drive that way I see your point, and I'm going
to switch back to the OEM pads once these metal masters wear out (and I'm
also going to stop recommending metal masters to people - now that I drive
slow it's annoying how I have to warm them up). The only issue is they don't
seem to wear out, 16k miles and they have a lot on them, as do my rotors.
For me, MB OEM pads were lasting 8k miles and the rotors for some reason
only lasted 16k miles

Yes, for track pads but running that sort of thing on the street doesn't
make terribly much sense as the temps they require to work optimally are
rarely reached.
I still love my Pagid/ATE soft organic pads...my cross drills eat through
them like there is no tomorrow but Man do they stop.
