Did you burnish or scuff your rotors with 400 grit to break
the glaze from the pads before? This will cause all sorts of
noise and shudder. The pads skip across the rotor instead
of grabbing like they should.

Also the instructions might have said something like
breaking in your pads the first time by heating them up really good
with a few short hard stops.

That's what the instructions with my EBCs said...I just made some hard stops for the first few days of having them. They got broken in quite nicely.

+1 oem all the way... cheap enough to replace two or three times before the "performance" pads wear out...

I hate ceramic pads...squeal like stuck pigs... tried two, sets both sucked..went back to OEM and zero squeal. Breaking them in did not help, shims did not help, shims + gunk did not help, gunk no shims did not help, rotor scuffing did not help...oem. problem solved.

Yeah, my pads were definitely put through the "break-in" process by my installer...he took my car around the shopand did it for me. I think all performance pads squeal though....it's the price you pay for better performance. If it gets worse...I'll change them....if not, it will suffice for now. Thanks.
