The Ti shims cut about 50% of squeal, but any hard braking once warmed up still feels like it could blow my ear drums if I have my windows down.

1. Racing compounds will always be noisy. Some are noisier than others. Every compound has a nice resonant frequency that it hits to make that beautiful cry of greatness and some compounds have a much larger range of frequencies than others.
2. In terms of heat, the pads do need more heat than the normal sprint compound. It does, however, run "cooler" than other compounds considering its application window. On paper, CSG compounds appear to have a more narrow optimal temp range than competing compounds, but the operating window and max performance ceiling you will experience is consistent while other compounds drop off with heat.
3. Proper bedding provides a nice transfer layer on the disc. If you're putting in tons of street mileage and ultra light braking, the transfer layer will eventually wear off (think of sandpaper rubbing on wood). You'll want to bed (or also known as burnish) the discs again to create a good transfer layer. That transfer layer acts as a little lubricant and that effectively reduces the harshness of NVH.
4. Out of the many brake pads for large caliper setups, CSG C2 has been consistently reported as lower NVH than competing compounds. Of course, disclaimer is always, this is a race product and it's what our racing clients use to find an edge against their competitors.
5. Match up with stickier tire compounds and the brakes will feel confident and assuring. The stiffness and linear consistency is key so you, as the driver, can modulate the right amount of pressure to provide the optimum braking force required to slow down.
