HiSpec pads rattling


Recommended Posts

I have a set of 4 Pot HiSpec front calipers fitted, the brake pads rattle like mad, the rods are fitted along with the small clips so they wont fall out, but am I missing an "anti rattle clip" ?

Anyone know?

Not to sure what they are, as they came with the calipers used, I have set of pagid that I can stick on, at first I thought Sh!t the hubs are loose, but all is tight, the pads just rattle.

Yep may do, but they say for track use only, not sure if I would get enough heat in them.

I run the Hi-Spec 4pots with Hawk pads - no rattle here - unless the wheel is not seated on the hub before tightening down... ;0

...and I've not been aware of mine rattling at all either (HiSpec and Mintex). No special springs or anything in there, just the pads, pins and pin clips. I did copper grease the back of the pad - but as you no doubt know that's really to stop sqealing rather than rattling.
