OK here is the deal.. About 3-4 months ago I change my rotors with z51/with oem pads. Everything was fine except the for the dust. A few weeks ago I swap out the pads with some posi quiet ceramics. The first week was fine, but now the right front squeaks. After bedding a few times with the same results I just took the pads off and gave it a sanding (pads and rotor), put some anti-squeak and reinstalled. I took it for a test drive and sure enough the squeak was still there.

I took the pads out (just the right front) and replaced it with my old oem and guess what no squeak..

Is it possible that I just have a defective set of pads?

Thanks,

I installed some HAWK Ceramic pads on my DD Z06 and love them, little dust and NO noise. Bedding is important which you did.

What brand pad did you buy?

I installed GM ceramics over the summer and I too had a good bit of brake squeal after making the swap. I don't think I used enough of the silicone that came with the pads and I'm guessing that is part of my issue. I also did not bed the brakes which is probably the other part of my issue. With the roof off it sounds really bad but the car still stops well and I have no dust which is why I replaced the stock pads to begin with. It has gotten a bit better but it is still there. Does not seem to have any issue stopping so I'm not that concerned about it at this point.

i replaced mine with delco ceramics @ 3,500 miles. bedded them and have never had an issue. i never used the silicone. FWIW.

They are Centric's Posi Quiet. The good folks over at Rockauto are sending me a new front set. This should take care of it..

Installed mine with powder coated calipers last summer.
Bedded according to instructions, blah blah blah....90-95% less dust. :-)
Yep, they squeak, but usually only when cold coming out of the garage.
Damn frustrating anyway.
