Hello list, I also had a awful amount of brake noise coming from my front brakes. I was able to fix this by installing new pads along with antisqueel shims. The shims are the key to quiet braking. When I installed the pads I also cleaned and lubed the slides and sprayed anit squeel coumpound on the back of the pads. To make a long story short, no more noise when braking. On a related note, does anyone make ceramic pads for the DeLorean application. I installed a set on my Buick, and not only are they quiet, they noticably reduce stoping distance. Andrew 4194
