I have the z32 brakes on my s14,and they have squeeled since i got them.it takes a little while of driving for them to start.I just replaced the brake pads hoping it would stop,but they still do it just as bad.I dont have those little metal plates that go on the back of the pads.idk id the z32 brakes had those.i know the stock brakes did so i thought maybe that could cause it?anyone know?

There's this silicone stuff you can apply on the back of the pads between metal plates. You can get it from Autozone. Try that.

I created that thread and it was only for rebuilding calipers. That's why you didn't see metal plates there. This is what I did after that.

I think so. I have some extra metal plates somewhere in my garage. I'll let you know.
