Where to start,

So my stock original brake pads wore down after about 30k kms. I didnt mind the compound as i dont do track days and its a daily drive.

So i got a quote of subaru 700 for fronts and 800 for rears!! So i ended up speaking to a tuner he said 400 and he will get me ebc reds which are street/race. So i installed these without machining stock rotors, these brakes squeeled like hell. I then took it back told him they squeeled and he changed them for yellow ebcs, race compound. They squeeled even more!! Then i went back again and i said i want as close to stock as u can get so he got me rda golds. I had never heard of these so didnt realise how terrible they where. They still squeaked so i then went and got my rotors machined and this solved the problem. 2 weeks later squeak came back as pads full of metal and glazed rotors. I then changed for bendix gtc these are not performance pads. Squeak come back. Machined rotors again and now AGAIN my brakes are starting to squeak. Only on the rear is the squeak always has been.

As you acn imagine im about $1500 down and my brakes are annoying the sh#t out of me!!!

I cannot understand what is going on how 4 types of pads are all squeeking im now thinking about changing all rotors and pads but having spent alot already i want good rotors for money and also pads aswell as a assurance the squeal will go for good!!!

This car is coming very close to being sold as recently i got a full invidia tbe and a tune and it made 239 awhp!!! Plus squeeky brakes!!!

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I had a speed read and got the general idea:

So you DONT do track days... So why didn't you go for a stock disc (machined) with some EBC / BENDIX OEM replacement pads? Would have saved bulk $$$$ and met your needs.

Instead you went for REDSTUFF (which may be a street / track pad but can be noisy) and then YELLOWSTUFF which are worse?! If anything you should have gone for GREENSTUFF that is a spirited driving pad.

To stop the above pads squeaking you have to get the heat into them and really punish them.

You then blame the shop, did you not research before hand? I am about to get my car tuned and I called around, got quotes and recommendations. I then searched the web / forums and found 2 shops offered parts / packages that wouldn't suit my needs.

Went through you other thread and ASG tuned your car so did they do the brakes also?

Mao has good pricing on comparable Project Mu HC+ pads. Drop him a PM.

But they squeak

I did research, reds seemed ok from what i read but you cant truly judge until you have tried them urself. I am using completly near stock parts now and still squeeking. Beleive me i have put heat in them i have had the chance to try four or dive different techniques of bedding brakes. It wasnt asg who did my brakes it was evo r which was actually why i went to asg for my tune as he didnt advise me to what to do with my brakes properly.

Iv heard good and bad things about project mu brakes some ppl say they quiet other say the are loud. I just wanna be 100% sure that i will not have any noise. I might call mao ask him to do my brakes rotors and pads and a tune. There goes another 2 grand!

Might be worth checking if it has enough brake grease / lube has been used. If there isn't there can be some high pitched squeaks during braking. Check out some "how to" guides, buy some lube / grease and have a go yourself.

Going through Street Quick Performance. Almost the best quote, best blokes I spoke to and they have Plenty of experience. Thanks for the offer.

Basically I wouldn't touch any of the pads you've used.
I assume you installed them yourself...did you put the anti squeal plates/shims back with them and did you bed them in? All new pads need to be bedded in and there is a process for that...you shouldn't just chuck 'em in and drive off.

I used Pagid RS yellows (with DBA 5000 rotors) when I had the '06 STI and they rarely if ever squealed and they are a competition pad. A reasonable street-performance compromise would be something like a Bendix Ultimate or a
DS2500.
Often the squeal can be set up by the driving style glazing up the rotor and pads. I suggest you seek advice from a reputable Subaru workshop (not dealer!).
