Any suggestions?

If you go aftermarket, get EBC whatever you do DON'T get Bendex.

Baz.

There are a *few* posts on this,,
try a search,,
the sensors KNOW if you stuff up,,,
My mintex squeal lightly at very slow stops, cover the rims in black instantly, but dont seem to annoy the sensors.

Baz, why not Bendix? Which Bendix pad did you use? There are 2 different ones. I've never used Bendix but though I might try them next.

I ended up with Bendix 4x4 and EBC slotted rotors. Finally the sqeals are gone and haven't seen the three amigos since.

Can't say a bad thing against them. I still seem to stop when I press the peddle thingy.

Edit: BTW I didn't go with the EBC pads as I was told by a certain 4WD service centre that they had some EBC pads cause discolouration to some rims due to the hot by-product during braking.

Hi Simon,

They squeal a lot and loud (supposed anti dust/anti squeal 4WD pads) I have video proof

I'm going back to the Lucus (ie) OME pads, at least they don't squeal as much.

Bendex heavy duty Titanium stripe 4WD pads, these don't squeal according to the shop we got them off
