Just curious...on the people with brake noise...Did you replace rotors also or keep your existing rotors?
My rotors were fine so I did not replace them and had squeal.
I am wondering if you replace rotors and pads if the squeal also happens.

i changed my pads at 20k had some life left, but one was squeaking like a *****, so i got some akebonos, added a lot of anti squeaking solvent on the back plate no noize what so ever. Super smooth and i no longer suffer from 2 much brake dust, which gave me allergies.

I have been using Red stuff for almost 4 years. on all the cars I have had Lamborghini Diablo, Ram SRT 10, ZO6, Viper GTS, and on the E55 with NO problem at all.
When I had it on the Lambo it first it did squeal, but it went a way by doing some high speed then hard brake... just do it for couple of times and the noise will go a way.
BTW, when it's cold it won't have a good grip but when it gets hot they will grip pretty well.
IMO, Red stuff is for hard core drivers

When I had redstuff pads on my car, they faded HEAVILY after a short period of use, caused heat spots and cracking around my drill holes in my rotor. I'll never use them again.
