Hey All,

 

I have a 1997 JDM Rover Mini, new to me as of Feb.  The brakes are unbelievably squeaky! Not really a grinding sound, definitely a squeak.

 

The car went straight to a specialist before I brought it home, he rebuilt the rear drums with new shoes.  He said the fronts looked good. 

 

I swapped the front pads just in case after I heard how crazy loud it is.  Rotors looked and felt good with no grooves although I do have a set I could put on if it would help.

 

I believe the noise is coming from the front.

 

I've seen shims for sale online but I've never used them before.  Would they help? Is there something else I should try?

The anti squeal shims work well and are easy to fit, I had to put them on mine
