New Brakes (powerstop) Squeal after it Rains???
So I just installed new Pads and Rotors all the way around my 2010 SS. I purchased Power Stop Z26 Extreme Performance Pads. They are great unless the car gets wet while its parked. If it rains or dew gets on the car over night. The 1st few times you apply the brakes they Squeal there butts off!!! After you stop once or twice it goes away. My Previous car was a Mazda and after I did a brake job on it - it did the same thing but way worse... Only way I was able to fix it was some new Brakes pads from AutoZone (ceramix Pads). Having Just Purchased expensive power stop pads I would rather not replace them with autozone pads, But I hate the squeal. Anyone have any Idea on how I can try to fix this issue? Thanks In Advance, Cory C

Probably surface rust on rotors from rain water. After you stop a few times the rust is gone.

well Just a little update, not sure if anyone is interested. They seem to be getting worse. I called Powerstop this morning and they were very helpful, said I should not be having any problems with these pads... After we talked for a little bit they decided to send me a New set of pads to replace these noisy ones. Lets hope it was just a bad set or something. The Powerstop people were great though. Very Helpful!

Not to spook you but I had bad luck with my powerstop setup. Rotors warped after a year and now I'm replacing them with R1 concepts.

Bin doing a bunch of reading and watching video's. Two things that seem to be possible fixes are new pads and several people recommend Hawk Ceramic. Another thing I have seen is some claim there is a need to LUBE the Pins & edges of the pads with Copper Anti seize? I used some Brake grease on the pins but did not do anything to the edges on the pads...??? This is Frustrating lol

well to finish up this deal. I actually got a replacement set of pads from Power-stop and did everything I could think of, scrubbed all hardware clean, got some copper never seize and carefully applied it to the recommended places. At the end of the day there were squealing again a few weeks after they were installed. I eventually decided to try a different pad all together. So I ordered some Centric Parts 105.10010 - Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads from Summit racing. These new pads are 99% quiet... I do get an low squeak every now and then when I 1st leave but its so much better its not even funny. Its really only rarely they make noise. Its great to not be embarrassed when I am backing out of a parking spot now! =) if I are having problems you might want to give these Centric pads a try
