brake squeak issue
i installed new ebc red stuff brake pads on my 99 a4 1.8t and the brakes squeal like crazy, i know there is a break in layer on the pads that glaze the rotors but it has been over a month......i greased the outer part of the pads, also the guide pins...... and i'm still squealing...... any help i would appreciate

RE: brake squeak issue
that's a good question.... my car has about 80,000 miles, the rotors are pretty worn (doesn't look like they were ever replaced ever)..... i kinda had a feelin that would be the problem, it sounds like it's just the front.
how long do the rear rotors usually last? the best price i found for rotors was on ecstuning.com, if anyone knows of a better place, i'm open for some info.

Did you resurface the rotors? You don't have to have them cut just sanded. This gets rid of the old brake material that is embeded in them and my not be compatible with the material in the new pads. Try this and them go through the bedding in procedure again and you should be golden.

I have red stuff pads, and they did not squeel for me at all. Not after a day, week, or anything. In myexperience, they have been a great pad.
I would look at the rotors. Is it the front, rear, right, left, or what? Is it just one wheel?
If you have a lot of miles, on original rotors, sounds like a good excuse to get some cross-drilleds or something.
