Raybestos Quiet Stop 850

FYI - Per a few postings, I installed a set of Raybestos Q-Stop pads on the front of my '95 850. I have to say that these are the worst pads for squeal that I have ever used on any vehicle! Beware!

Raybestos Quiet Stops.......ROCK! 850

I'm using them on my 745T w/o any problems, no noise, no dust. I've had them on for about two years now.

Did you put anything (like anti-squeal brake paste) on the backside of the pads as anyone should whenever installing new pads on ANY car? Noise occurs because the pads can and will vibrate (some up/down movement) w/o using any type of anti-squeal brake paste.

These were the only pads that wouldn't squeal for my 98 S70. I love them and wouldn't use anything else...btw, PBR deluxe pads didn't squeal but they also didn't work for a second or two every time I hit the brakes in the rain...I also used new brembo rotors when I replaced them with raybestos...never a squeal in 35K

Did you use new rotors? I use the Quiet Stops but I use new rotors too and they've been dead quiet and dust free for about 10k miles now. I don't see how they could squeal on a virgin rotor. I use 'em on three different vehicles and they're great. I also like the ProAct pads from TireRack, both are very good in my opinion and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I had the same experience. They were awful.

I tried and tried to find pads that didn't squeal but also didn't make a mess on the wheels. I lost the battle. I'd rather have no squeal.

Raybestos Quiet Stop V70-XC70 1998

Been using PBR Deluxe up to this time but willing to give Raybestos Quiet Stops a try if I can find them for my V70
