Any pad squeal will come down to pad compound and the bedding procedure.

Hey man, saying "this just isn't true" comes off as unnecessarily combative. You're basically calling me a liar, since I'm sharing my actual personal experiences. I am no liar, sir. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt though, because you're a good knowledgeable poster and I respect that.


So please, inform me what pad compounds I should try? I'm happy to pass that information along to the person who buys the kit from me and to report back their experiences. For me, it's not an issue of bedding or compound. I tried multiple compounds, and just in case I was somehow messing up bedding I bought pre-bedded rotor rings w/ matching new pads twice. There are many possible variables, but the best I could isolate it, it came down to rotor design. Miraculously, after switching to my new BBK on the same compound I ran down on my Sprint BBK, my noise problems are basically eliminated (there's an expected amount of noise due to it being a race compound at low speed stops).


I'm open to new information and learning new things, but my experiences are not unique, and they're certainly true, every word of it. So please, refrain from calling into question my character in my own thread, it's just not necessary.
