Default 3.73 Perf Pkg Brake Question

My 2010 GT has the 3.73 Performance Package which comes with "Performance Front Pads".

I notice that these pads can get pretty noisy. Does anyone else notice these pads are noisy?

I also notice that I tend to have a pull to the right under braking until I get the pads a little hot and then this seems to go away. Does anyone else have an brake pull?

Im not seeing any of these same issues. Maybe a trip to the dealer might be in order

Are your windows up when you notice the break noise?

I haven't noticed this. I'd probably get that checked. If you notice any pull in the brakes it SHOULD be a pull to the left.

It is the closest brake to the master cylinder. So the order of brake application if properly bled is lf, rf, lr, rr. At least this is how it works on cars without stability control and ABS. I haven't worked on brakes in a few years.

I haven't noticed noise or a pull in either direction.

Hmm, Sounds like I should take it to the dealer. The noise with the windows up is pretty noticable. It is a metalic sound.

How do you guys drive your cars? I am mostly easy but occasionally very hard for playing around.

The noise tends to come up after a couple of good hard applies.

The pull is almost always there.

I checked the air pressure. The pull is only under braking and not during driving.

The pull is minor. The noise is less than minor.
