I know you guys are probably tired of me chiming in, but there has always been a compromise when using better pads. More often then not, dust and squeal are something you sometimes have to live with when using a performance pad. But as noted above a good break-in procedure will minimize it.

I did the break-in procedure like the instructions said. They still squeal. It seems like you're talking about the pads. When I replace my pads I'll try the break-procedure again and see what happens. Maybe I didn't break them in correctly....

unredeemed,
as a tires guru tell me something. Two same trucks, same motor, same size and brand of tires. Only one has the cross drilled and slotted rotors. Which one is going to stop better at 90 MPH and by how many feet?
