Brake pads from Joe & Riks?
Anyone had new front brake pads fitted from Joe & Riks? Had mine on for a couple of weeks and they are becoming a real annoyance. Virtually always squeak badly when coming to complete stop - same sound when the car has just been washed and the brakes are squeaky until dried - except the squeaking doesn't disappear! Also getting bucket loads of brake dust all over the front alloys less than a week after washing. Want to know if this will continue or do I need another brand of pads? Don't know what is in there at present but they weren't expensive and I didn't state I was after anything in particular - just need new pads...have driven at least 1500klms already with no improvement.

Brad,
I just assume Joe and Rik use something that is designed for normal everyday use.
Have your tried really heating them up and bedding them in good with a bit of hard braking? (ie a spirited weekend drive up Nebo, Glorious or both?)
How much is "weren't expensive"?
I have had no problems with my EBC Greenstuffs besides the grinding noise coming from the EBC slotted rotors, hardly any dust except if I go for a weeknd spirited drive. I know a few people have RB74's with DBA's as well, be interested in what they have to say.
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris
I have done a few emergency brake maneourves the other night that got rid of the squeal - until the next day! Haven't tried again as we have been having some Tassie kinda weather Will work on it and see what I can do to fix it. Oh - price was less than $120 from memory, too lazy to fetch receipt.
Catch ya
