Brake help needed!
 
i recently installed Ferodo DS2500 front pads on my car and resurfaced rotors. Also re-lubed all moving parts but still getting annoying squeaking noise. The car stops awesome, this pad has great bite and very firm strong pedal feel but squeals like a mother*****!
I'm thinking on ebc yellows or stoptech pads but wanted to know from any of you how has been your experience with these 2 pads.
I've read through past posts but couldn't find a comparison between these 2. I don't track my car. I mainly do aggressive street driving and spirited driving. I'm wondering if i can find a pad that has good initial cold bite and that won't fade and obviously no squeaking noise.
Please need help because these pads are driving me crazy with this squealing. Thanks in advance for your help

You said you lubed all moving parts, did you apply any "anti-squeal" (or whatever it is called) grease to the back of the pad? I have yellows with the corksport calipers on TS2 rotors and will probably never change them.............but I hate having to clean my wheels every 2 days and man this setup EATs rotors.... Hey we can't have it all LOL

Came here to say the same thing. That thick, dark grease should cover the entire back side of each pad. Do that if it wasn’t done.

If you want a different pad, I had really good results with Hawk HPS pads. Properly installed, they were super quiet.

Some agressive pads make noise and there is nothing to do. You can try the kind of stuff mentioned, it dry a bit like silicone and prevent the vibration of the pad when louse but if the noise is coming from the pad surface and sound like a bus or a 10/12 wheels truck, there isn't much you can do with them...
It is like tires, you cannot get a very soft compound that would last long so you cannot get dust free and quiet pads that will brake hard....

I did try hawks HPS on my speed3 and i agree about quiet, heat resistant and dust free but after 500km i removed them because for my use, the initial bite was terrible on cold weather/rain.
I replaced them with hawks HP+ and it was the complete opposite, agressive bite with minimal pressure, was almost dangerous to brake too fast and being hit in the back by the car behind... but that buss noise even after trying everything and so much metal dust that it would hurt the wheel paint...

I would also look to find something in between for my heavy 6 now. not willing to accept again that track racing noise but would like something that could handle a bit better spirited driving than the cheap one i run now...

I have 2 options to attack my problem
1st-Swap back oem rotors to see if its a compatibility problem between my stoptech slotted rotors and ferodo pads or
2nd-Go with stoptech street pads with my stoptech rotors
If i go 2nd option, I think I'll be going with stop tech street part number 308.09152. I heard really good things about this pad, good initial bite, less fading than oem, least dust.
If anybody has had experience with this pad on this car?
