    HELP!!! How do I keep these friggin brakes from squealing?

    I put new Brembo rotors on the front if my 325i with PBR Delux Plus pads, and cannot seem to keep them from squealing. I put four coats of Permatex Spray On Anti Squeal, and followed the instructions on how to bed them in (at least as well as I could here in Silicon Valley). But no matter what I try the brakes continue to squeal.

    think of it as race car brakes, decent pads always squeel more because the compounds are harsher. either deal with it or get new pads
    i have PBR Ceramics and they squeel like a bitch and it doesn't bother me anymore normally every little creak or anything does but you'll get used to it

      Deluxe should not squeel bad. You shouldn't have put the anti squeel on before you broke the brakes in though.

        If you got any dirt/grease on the rotors or the surface of the brake pads, that will make them squeal. Even a dirty thumb print will affect them. Try cleaning the rotor with something non-petroleum based like carb cleaner and see if that helps.
