I just had some carbotech panther plus (AX8) installed and they are squealing like demons...but only at slow speeds. Kinda sounds like a garbage truck. Is this normal? If so, no biggie -- If not, what could it be, missing shims?

 

I don't see an AX8 listed. Do you mean AX6 or XP8? If you have XP8's, they'll squeal like a banshee. Not a good street pad at all. I don't know anything about the AX6, but the description on their website makes them seem like a decent street/autocross pad. This is from their AX6 description:

[QUOTE] Many drivers use the AX6

 

 

My bad, it was a typo. I meant AX6 -- did some searching too. Apparently, these are loud pads. That's OK -- just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss something with the install.

 

The CRC will help...but yes, that squeal is normal for an agressive pad like that.

 

Yep learn to like it like that

 

you need to get it up to operating temperature.
