Wilwood Powerlites
Anyone running Powerlites and like me struggle with the noise from the mintex pads I have managed to track down some yellowstuff pads from EBC.
Track them down from the EBC and spoke with the guy and he has now added them to the search function of brakes4u. http://www.brakes4u.co.uk/search.asp Part number for Powerlite YellowStuff is DP4057R Hope this is helpful, Steve

there are some guys on the fiat coupe forums that worked out if you make some little ali shims to go down the sides of the pads between the callipers it stops them squealing.

Will plenty of copper slip behind the pads not stop the screeching Steve?

Chamfer the leading and trailing edges off and it may help,it does on normal road pads.
Bosch pads have a half circle cut out of the backing metal and this puts one edge on before the other and this helps stop the high frequency vibration/squealing.

Tried the rounding of pad edges and copper slip on the back, calipers already have shims in them so they are going in the bin!
Fingers crossed the yellowstuff are better AND quieter  Steve.
