Performance Friction Brake pads Evo IX

Hi all,

I have recently installed Performance Friction brake pads, 97 compound model 7781 on the front and 01 compound model 0109 in the rear. The new brake pads are extremely loud.
Would somebody be able to recommend how to get rid of the annoying squeaking noise?
Would it be enough to switch to different brake pads (if yes what brake pads you recommend) or should I replace both brake pads and rotors or just rotors?

Thanks!

These are track pads... Noise is to be expected. Did you use anti-seize during pad installation?

This. Track pads don't like being feathered like the way one use use the brakes on the street. Deal with it, or get new pads.

Did you reuse the stock shims from the brembo pads? This may help out a bit, but really won't do much since it is a track pad.
