Hi YTTRIUM,

After I've changed the mintex pad for three days, done the pad bedding recom

by mintex. Currently, everytime when braking there is this 'squeal' sound.

It is normal? Since you've driven ES8 with mintex, can you advise me

what might happened Thks

[Yttrium]

Doesn't sound normal for new pads.. sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.. The ES8 that I drove was my friend's so I did not have any personal experience installing it. Did you install the pads with any shims?

[Sapporo]

Shims? You means the shims behind the pad? There is a pcs of thin metal

behind the pad, is that the shim?

[Yttrium]

Yup, that's the shim. You might also want to refer to this previous thread on brake squeal http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/gforum.cgi...0squeal;#108728
