[W126 Coupe] Brakes Still Squealing

[Mike R.]

No track days or entrance ramps that I've attacked lately so the braking has
been fine. Now that the SEC is sitting in the garage with the engine/tranny
out of it, it will be a while before I can go test it again. Once it's back
on the road, braking is going to be a major concern and it will be tested
then. Got a set of SS braided brake lines to put on also.

 

Later,

As long as you use paste, I don't think the pagid ones ever squeal, and even
the PBR ones its almost always the rear ones that squeal, so if you have
pagid in the back, no worries. I wonder what running two different compounds
does to your brake bias though. When I had that setup for a couple days (had
to buy more anti squeal paste), I noticed that the braking stunk.

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.
