Dear All,

I was one that brought the Gaffer front brake pads and found out not that they killed the disk. But that at low speed they make a noise as they move a little in the caplier. It was only after looking at the orginal Seat Parts that they have a extra piece of metal plate welded to the pads which reduces this noise.

Can anyone tell me if the other brake pads have this item?

Regards.
 
Anti-rattle spring you mean. Most if not all brake calipers will have this. Its a part that goes with the caliper - not with the pads.
 
Sounds like he means anti-squeal shims on the back of the pads.


I've not got these on my Brembos (Renualtsport) and never heard them mentioned on the LCR :confused:
 
Do you meen these...

left to right, SEAT (hard to see as it's black, but does have a shim), EBC Red Ceramic, (obvious black shim), Galfer 1055, (no shim).

i didnt fit the original metal plates onto my 1045 galpher pads... however i did put copper grease on the back of the pads (as i ALWAYS do) and yet again i do not have squeeky brakes! ;)


so i suggest if the squeeky brakes are annoying you, you simply take the pads out and apply some copper grease to them! :yes:

good luck! :)
 
Yes it is the shim. I applied lots of copper grease but the noise only occurs if you go forward, brake a little and then reverse and brake a little. The noise sounds that a glunk.

Are they other pads that peoplease have used that have the shim?

the noise you are describing sounds more like the suspension to me!


im 99% sure i know the noise u mean, as i noticed mine used to clunk sometimes, when moving forwards a bit, then backwards and braking!!!

this is nout to worry about, its normal... as it goes since i fitted my coilovers the car hasn't made this noise! :yes:
