Since upgrading my discs and pads to MTEC and RedStuff EBC I have a new sound!
There is a clunking sound over rough roads (mostly bumps and manhole covers) which appears to be movement in the pad within the calliper. It doesnt happen over speed bumps.
I know this is a thing that happens and it only started happening 2000miles into the new brake disc/pad setup.
I took the pads out and replaced them to see if it was the retaining clips and this seems to temporarily reduced the sound but there is certainly still some there.
Has anyone used that self-adhesive backing that you can put on the pads to make them a more snug fit?
By the way, the MTEC C Hook discs and RedStuff pads perform exceptionally. I had YellowStuff all round which was amazing when hot on the track but too 'bitey' for the road/wife so have downgraded the fronts to RedStuff which feel a lot better when cold. Dust isnt too bad either.
