Installed new pads on my z4 and they seems to be bubbling out and squeel when I get off the highway, any ideas on why this is happening?

    I’m wondering if they cost the pads at the factory to prevent corrosion or something, then as they start to get warm that coating cooks off.

    Just a guess tbh.

      That’s what this is. Most pads are painted on every surface but the friction surface, some even have overspray there but it’s NBD. The paint is just burning off from normal brake heat.
