The brakes on my wife's 53 plate 206 HDi have always squealed to some
extent, even from new. They quietened down a little when the pads were
first changed but now I have changed the discs and pads (both mintex)
the squealing is as bad as ever under light braking. Everything was
cleaned and lubed properly when the pad and discs were fitted and I've
tried the usual copper grease on the back of the pads when installed
but still no change.
Any ideas or does anybody know it any squeal shims are available?

Ply a little of copper grease to the tops and bottoms of the pads.as if
you put some on the back the only thing that is going to get grease on
it will be the piston.

My 307 has squealing brakes also. The rear brakes are only a few
months old and they squeal a lot, even when they were first fitted.
So do I just apply some copper grease to the pads? I've never heard
of it? Can you please give me some more info on this? I'm very
interested.

DONT PUT IT TOO THE PADS.just to the top of the metal that the pads are
welded onto.clean the paint of first then add a little bit of copper
grease.

Sorted it! I had already lubed the pad sliders (not sure that's the
correct term but the bits of the backing plate that stick up) and
backs with copper grease when I replaced the discs, but after
searching about on the net I found a few other makes (mostly MGB's and
people who have fitted EBC performance brake pad/disc combos to
Imprezas and Skylines) suffer from the same problem and the solution
is to file off the leading edge of the brake pad so it doesn't grab
the disc. So I rounded the leading edges off all the pads and cleaned
and re-lubed the pad sliders with copper grease and hey presto 99.5%
reduction in squealing. Not bad for half an hours work - and to think
I've been living with it for the past four years!

So has the squealing stopped still? as you say 99.5% free so you better
get out there and get it 100% or your wife will not be happy with you.

Yep, no squealing, although I think I will probably have to repeat the
process sometime in the future when the rounded off edge wears flat
again. No worries on the wife front, she thinks it's a miracle and I
have earned quite a few brownie points!

I think she also learned to live with it after the first year and a
half of nagging me to do something about it and me telling her it was
the "newness" wearing off Wink
