Anti-Squeal Brake Shims & Noise Reduction
Enjoy high-performance braking without the unwanted noise. Our selection of anti-squeal shims and noise-reduction accessories is designed to eliminate high-frequency vibrations and brake squeal. At Chicane Australia, we provide precision-engineered solutions from Paragon, alongside premium integrated solutions from Dixcel.

Brake squeal is often caused by micro-vibrations between the Brake Pad and the caliper piston. Anti-squeal shims act as a damping layer to absorb these vibrations before they turn into audible noise. We stock a range of Paragon shims for various performance calipers to ensure a quiet, professional fitment.
For those seeking a complete out-of-the-box solution, many of our Dixcel Performance Pads—specifically the M-Type (Ultra-Low Dust) and the Z-Type (Street & Circuit)—come pre-fitted with dedicated anti-squeal shims from the factory. This ensures optimal noise damping without the need for additional parts.
To achieve a truly silent braking system, we highly recommend using specialised lubricants during installation. We stock the full range of Dixcel grease:
• Dixcel PG101: A high-performance grease for the back plates of brake pads. It reduces squeal while protecting your piston seals and dust boots from wear.
• Dixcel LP1652: This advanced pad grease contains graphite for even higher squeal suppression and a longer-lasting effect than PG101.
As part of our commitment to performance and refinement, a sachet of LP1652 is included free of charge with every set of Dixcel Z, S, or X-Type brake pads.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we supply these noise-reduction solutions Australia-wide to help you achieve the perfect balance of performance and comfort.
Anti-Squeal & Grease FAQ
How does Dixcel PG101 protect my calipers?
Applying PG101 to the back plates not only reduces vibration-induced squeal but also acts as a protective barrier for your caliper piston seals and rubber boots, preventing premature degradation caused by friction and heat.
What is the advantage of LP1652 grease?
Dixcel LP1652 contains graphite, which provides a significantly higher squeal suppression effect. The graphite helps the lubricant remain effective for a longer period, even under the higher temperatures seen in the Z, S, and X-Type pads.
Do I get free grease with my brake pads?
Yes. One sachet of LP1652 graphite grease is included free of charge with every set of Dixcel Z-Type, S-Type, and X-Type pads to ensure a professional, quiet installation from the start.
