front brake pads

[davewills4]

Hi all,  what brake pads are you all using on the front of 1kt had to put some ebc non sintered ones in to get it through the mot. But they are really squeaky at  the point where you come to the final few yards of the stop however hard the brakes are on. Also they are really dusty went for a short ride today and by the time I arrived back home the belly pan was black with brake dust.  Dave

Hi, normally non sintered are less noisy than sintered, did you give the caliper a good clean, ie run the pistons out a little further, clean any dirt and break dust off them before lubing and pushing back, if not you likely have a stuck or tight piston holding a pad against the disc causing the issue.. Just a thought..
