New front brakes binding

Post by bugboy »

Hi all, just fitted new front discs and pads to my 1.8t wagon, but they're clearly binding and squealing at low speeds, not to mention getting bloody hot.

The pads have a red 'bed in' coating (they're EBC heavy duty pads btw) could this be the reason?

There's oh fiddlesticks! all to get wrong when fitting them but something just doesn't seem right with them.

Any ideas??
