Shim Kit
Anyone bought the shim kit when they changed the brakes and rotors? My brakes are really loud when I first start. It needs like a couple hard brakes before the squeaking stops. If I'm in traffic it will squeak forever. Does the shim kit help?
P.S I never bedded my brakes after getting my rotors and brakes done. It been 4,2k km since. Should i still do it. Is it just braking 100km - 0 10 times.

But yes, I had the same issue, bought the shim kit and they are absolutely 100% quiet now.

My front driver side started squeaking randomly recently. I have shims in them but maybe the grease is gone or dirty so I'm gonna try cleaning them real good and regreasing. Brake hardware like the hold back springs also fatigue and could cause squeaking.
