Default Is there something wrong with my Carbotech P+ pads?

I recently installed Carbotech P+ pads, speedbleeders and replaced stock fuild with Motul. They worked great on the track and I had no problems with fading, etc. -- a big change from the stock pads.

But I drove the car the other day with the top down and the radio off and noticed that if I coasted at low speeds I could hear a slight squeak from the brakes -- especially if I turn to the right.

Does anyone know if this is "normal"? If not, what could cause this? I bedded the pads per the instructions and everything seems to work fine otherwise.

Thx

Acutally, no, a slight squeak is not normal. A really loud squeak is normal.

If you don't like squeaking noise replace it with stock pad for the streets and change to P+ when you are on the track, that way not only you avoid squeaking noise, you have less mess to clean up when washing your car.

according to doug hayashi, the brake squeak causes people to think something is wrong with your car. But he says they are idiots, cuz you will out brake them

Sounds right to me. I swapped mine to stock for street. It only takes like 30 minutes..

Try the XPs. Sqeakier and dustier. Actually, squeaky is not the right word because it's just plain loud
