I had similar problem, but it turned out that my brake plates where cracked. I had to replace them.

Unfortunately, I think this is somewhat normal. I had one bike that was really loud, and only got louder as the faster I peddled. Sent the bike back and the new bike also makes noise from the belt and drive train. I think this is normal and is poor quality of this sunny bike model.

The squeaking is relatively normal. It should smooth out the more you use it, and subsequently squeak less. As for the .02mm increments, this is abnormal.

Yes! Just buy the pads that fit your BMW rotors. Why do you care what size rotors & pads European BMWs use?

Hello, Front hand brake. Rear coaster-brake (pedal operated when user installed). Regards, BMW - AutoGoodParts

I had these installed on my 2005 VW Passat (manufactured in Germany) and now I also have a very loud and annoying CLUNK every time I apply the brakes. I've seen this problem reported in other places on the web. I don't think it's a rotor issue but an issue with the pad. Has anyone tried to get Akebono to address the problem?

Everytime I was using my brakes or coming to a stock <10MPH, my ABS would go off. I replaced one, thought I had the correct side but didn't :( Swapped the other out and I was good to go! They are a pain to do since the body of them are plastic and get stuck in your housing... Be gentle.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

I've had mine for roughly two years and have never had a problem with squeaking or anything else for that matter (after the intitial installation problems were worked out). I would call for service, hopefully still covered by a warranty.

I have these brakes on my GT/CS and I would not buy them again. They are loud both braking and in turns. I had issues with a caliper after my first install and had Ford reinstall the rear brakes and do some maintenance on the front. They are still very loud in comparison to the factory rotors.

Nothing "bangs" on my elliptical. I've been using it multiple times each week for two years. I had a few squeaks and have tightened the bolts. Sorry I can't help.

BMW dealer removes it every time they wash my car. I was advised to remove it. Haven't done it yet

Just for the front. As previously answered, front rotors tend to be larger and vented. Where as rear rotors that I've come across on passenger cars are solid (non-vented) and built to accommodate parking brakes within.

Not that we've ever been aware of. We have sprayed silicon lubricant once at the pivot point in order to stop some squeaking.

I installed this on my 07 mk5 just fine. It did come with new spring clips for the front and wear sensors in the back but I think I ended up re using the old ones I. The front because they went in easier. Honestly I would recommend spending a little more money and getting the package that comes with new calipers too if you haven't replaced them already. I've rebuilt and powder coat the tears on my own and it was a pain in the ass. I regret not spending a couple hundred more and getting new powder coated ones from power stop

They do fit the 2007 gs350 front brakes. I have been through several OEM bars that all squeaked. These do not squeak!

I believe mine has always squeaked a bit, but it never caused problems. My iron just recently died; I probably had it for 10+ years.
