Ok, here's my review after a weekend of driving and a quick hour Mountain run in the LA Mountains. It was a little spongy after the initial install. After a bit of driving it bites just like the brembos. In fact I cant even tell the difference between the two. But the brakes do squeal every time I come to a stop. Unless I step on it a certain way (more pressure when it squeal), then it would stop. I didn't add on the original shims, as per instructions. I also didn't clean or use sandpaper on the rotors either, which is a possibility of why its squealing as Martin has indicated via PM. I was also told that I did not have to use "goo" since the backing of the pads had "semi rubber" stuff on them already. I wish I had added the goo but I thought I didn't need to so this weekend I'll have to see what I can do because this squealing is not cool at all.

Well sand the rotors and tell us what you find. Its odd to see that your pads are squeaking as you are part of a very small percentage of EVOs that have this problem. However the percent of people that still have squeaky pads after the recommended procedure for cleaning the rotors is currently 1 so we are confident that we will be able to help you get your pads to act they way they were designed to.

What grit sandpaper should I use? And do u recommend me using copper anti-seize? My brother also said he's been having the squealing too (he also have the magic pads installed, we did both the same day the same way.
