I thought the ghostrider new version did not. Confused now. His post states 'Squeak Free (SqF) Ends'. Anyone can comment?

I have had the new designed kit installed for nearly 8 months now with no squeaking.

Thats good to know, thank you.

I'm still wondering if its worth the effort and cost to get this installed. I only put on maybe 3k miles / year.

Did the install myself in a couple of hours. Pretty straight forward stuff. I burn up a set of rears in less than 5k miles without the kit.

Thanks for the feedback, I guess I will need to get it done. As for the install, I worry more about finding the time to mass with it myself then being able to do it. Might as well get my Benz mechanic friend take care of it as otherwise I will never ind the time to do it myself.

Thanks

Good choice on getting it done. Time is usually the toughest part of doing most task. Shouldn't be a wallet buster even if the indy does the deal.
