gold!

Was just saying, maybe not the root cause of the problem. The process of elimination is a wonderful thing though, except when it costs! (Ahh memories from by Brant Alarm)

If the rotors still have heaps on them, i'd be more inclined to put new pads in first than take a skim off the nice DBA5000's.

Cheers

Many things contribute to the problem so best to try the cheapest and easiest thing first, its only $70 and if your going to put new pads on will be better to have a nicely cleaned face on the rotors so they can bed in properly instead on trying to bed in on glazed rotors.

They take of the smallest amount when skimming so its not going to affect the nice DBA5000's.

Also its always best with new pads to bed them into a clean flat face. Ensures flat wear across the pad also even wear across the 2 pads.

Been suggested that its resonance between the pad back plate and the caliper shims by the guys I buy my pads from. Going to whip the pads out and try using a bit of copper high temp grease on these. Not convinced but we will see....

Some good info here

This stuff works a treat too. Supercheap should have this or something similar.

Hey guys,

A1RM, being the type of pad they are, will sometimes suffer from some noise in opposed pistons calipers (like the Sumitomo and Brembo, which unfortunately is most performance Subarus!). They RARELY make a noise in single sided sliding calipers, but as with alot of high performance pads, opposed piston caliper don't always agree with them.

The best thing for noise (which is caused by harmonics between the backing plate and the caliper itself) is a soft stick on shim kit, EBC make a universal one (similar to what EBC and TRW pads come with standard), and they're $16.50 per axle set. The goo stuff is ok but is generally only a temporary fix.

Have a read of this post:

As it explains the pads we're replacing HPX with for high performance street use, and is VERY good on noise, especially in opposed pistons cars, and we sell stack of Remsa for Porsche/Fezzas etc that use race type calipers on the street, but where their owners would never put up with noise.

Otherwise if you plan to keep A1RM as your street pad, either flog the crap out of the pads, turn up the radio, or grab a set of soft stick on shims.

Any questions at all just let me know!

Regards,
Greg
