Hello everyone.
I just installed two new original brake discs and two new original brake pads. The problem is that they squeal at low speed.
Does anyone know how to remove it?

are the anti-squeal shims fitted to the back of the pads. Try a smear of copperslip between pad and piston

No, it's not there.
Do you know where to buy such anti-squeal shims ?

It's been tested, unfortunately, almost did not help.

I suspect that it is the brake pads, which otherwise is new and original. In the old days (eighties) I never had the problems.

The problem is solved. Bought some NOS brake pads on ebay
