3rd gen Brake squeaking

Im starting to hear a very light squeek from my brakes lets say going about 20-25mph. It goes away when i lightly press on the brakes. I tried that brake quiet stuff and that has no change. I always had a minor squeek ever since day 1 when installed morse ceramic pads and brembo rotors.


Another thing ive noticed is i think my brakes are probably not adjusted properly. Since i notice the passenger rear drum is hotter than the driver side drum..


enlighten me.

I have heard that ceramic pads do tend to squeak more than organic or metalic pads but you trade that for no brake dust. You might try a set of stainless (or other material) shims along with the "brake quiet" stuff. Make sure to apply some to both sides of the shim if possible (some use a PSA glue to attach to the brake pad). Ceramic is know to squeak though.

Mine squeak when it's a bit cold out and I'm going slow but it's not really an issue otherwise and I have Akebono ceramics.
