Default Problem still exists

Hi all
I have done a major rebuild over the last six months and am finally back on the road.
I installed new pads to see what would happen,and it seems nothing has changed.
The first drive was ok and I thought all was good until the brakes got warm.
The chatter isn't there when it's cold but appears after the brakes warm up a bit. I don't even use them much.
Again,it's like a dry windscreen wiper bouncing across the windscreen.
It's a long thread but please read previous solutions and answers for the history before commenting.
A brake place told me it could be material transfer that is a mismatch causing it to become"sticky"so to speak which causes the pads to chatter under very light load.
I can't believe I'm the only person in the jag or cobra community with this problem.
I still want to try different pad material but ebc pads are expensive and if that's not the problem then I just wasted $200.
Again,it's not a shudder,its a high freq low speed,low load "chatter".
I will try and record it next time out and upload if that works.

Nick427-I might give that a go.i have trw pads & rotors on mine,but I was going to go harder or better with ebc Reds. Have you had any more luck?
I tried the bias thing ang got the rears to lock first but that was at higher speed and I guess more weight transfer to front making rear lighter anyway,but it still didn't help.
Besides,it was crap at stopping like that.


Any further thoughts?

Thanks and merry Christmas
