Default Damn these Lyndall pads SQUEAK!
Installed Lyndall Gold+ pads a few weeks ago and these things squeak real bad until they warm up! Anyone else have this issue?

as pointed out above, the "magic" is in the install.

good practices when doing the brake job get better results.

No squeak with my golds. Make sure you clean the caliper pistons every time you do a pad change.

About 8 years ago I tried the Lyndall Z+ pads. They drove me crazy they were so loud. I swapped them out for some EBC pads and everything was nice and quiet again. And they worked out great.

At the time everyone was on the Lyndall kick and nobody would listen to me. It was pretty funny at the time. I swear by EBC pads now.
