Yes Dave. Carbotech advised me to use the roughest paper I could find - 60 or 80 grit from memory. |

Don't forget to clean up the rotors with some 60 drit paper or similar when you change pad material |

Jim,
On the piston side. You'll see the stuff is pretty sticky. You spray it on, wait 10 minutes, then install the pads.

The Porterfield R4-S are already supposed to be non-squeak. That's why I went to them after having squeal in my Lucas/Axxis MetalMax pads after a lively day at the track. Been using the Porterfields for a couple of years now (no anti-squeak compound) with several hundred track miles... no squeak.

On the rotor side or the piston side? I thought it was to be applied to the rotor side of the pad.

Jim,
I used anti-squeal stuff on the back of my porterfields before installing them on the GT4. No problems, no squeals.

Any thoughts on painting Porterfield carbon-fiber brake pads with anti-squeak break-in compound?
Good-bad-ugly?
Thanks. Jim S. |
