Squeaky Red Dot Brakes

[volxstu]

Ok so i know that the Fast road disks and pads are prone to a bit of noise, but mine seem to be insanely squeaky.
It may not even be the breaks but im pretty sure it is. I have found that when i go round corners i get a squeak at certain parts of the revolution and they constantly seem to rub.
ATM i dont have access to the car but i would like to gather a bit of Info as to what the problem may be and how to rectify it as it cant be right.
Also they never seem to get warm and TBH my standards running on metal/no pad were better at stopping the car than these.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

constantly rubbing is often disk tone guard, just bent it back it place

Squeaking is normally dust

OK so apart from the dust why would the Tone guard move without being touched. I am getting pretty annoyed with these breaks. Beside the fact that they squeal and are now rubbing, they are supposed to be fast road for a 1.6 Stilo, even my dads Porsche would struggle to get these up to temp.
Im not normally one to point the finger with modding a car as i know that often things arent all that simple but Im struggling to see that it is something that i have done wrong. I got them professionally fitted and there was no advisories with them.

Brake shims & plenty cooper grease helps.......

back of pads where they meet caliper or piston, and all moving parts ie where the top an bottom of the pads sit in calipers

Your not driving hard enough if you carnt get them warm enough

i have red dot UT discs and DS2500 pads on my cinq and they take abit of warming up.
They can also give a mother of a squeel, as in its really too loud to bare sometimes, but they only ever squeek in traffic when moving slow

Admitedly they do seem louder since i took out the rear interior and install but i just put that down to actually being able to hear the outside world :devil:
I dont always drive like a granny but it still does it even if i do give it some, even when i am pushing the car to its limits sometimes if i try to drive the car harder then i wont have a car left to worry about the breaks.
