yea its the howl when you brake and come to a stop about 15-0 mph. and yes its mainly once they get hot. i knew kevlar was pretty hard material but with these pads i am willing to sacrifice less braking for quiet pads. just wanted to let people know that these pads are very loud. easily hear over radio with windows up.

i want to know how your pads were quiet. even called Vishnu , where i bought them from, and even they said they are loud. guess i should of spent more time looking into reviews lol. on plus note braking is improved quite a bit.

Don't really know about the HC+, although he says they're good, but the Max 900 is brake dust city and must be the definite king of squeal. It's almost embarassing, like i've got a proper nail stuck in my brakes. Eats discs like crazy but stops even better than the Titan Kais. I rekon they're worth all their bad points. Besides, these babies work up to 900degC (so they say) so they'll work upto the point where your whole car catches fire or something...

brakes were installed properly. old rotors had a dibbit in 2 of them so had all of them turned, surfaces wiped down bancking plates and backing foam put on back of pads and they make the noise. i even did the brakes a total of 4 times so odd wearing or anything like that.

To achieve optimum performance from Ferodo Racing brake pads please follow the instructions below:
1) Perform 25 to 30 trial brake applications, each of approximately 4 seconds, using around 50% of normal race pedal pressure. To shorten the procedure applications can be made along the straights as well as through bends.
2) On completion of trial applications return to the pit lane. Inspect the surface of the brake pads from the two wheels which have been working the hardest. There should be evidence of contact over the full pad area but without glazing. The pads are now ready to race.
Whilst we recommend that pads are inspected, if time does not allow this, assuming procedure (1) has been carried out and a short period of time has elapsed to allow the brake system to cool, the pads will be ready to race.
IMPORTANT: to optimize the performance and life of both brake pads and discs, during the bedding-in period heat in the braking system should be built up progressively.
PAD WEAR INSPECTION: brake pads must have at least 2mm of friction material. Excessively worn brake pads must be replaced.
THERMAL PAINT TEMPERATURE CHECK; Where this procedure is used and braking performance is not considered satisfactory: if none of the 3 paints has changed appearance it may be necessary to reduce cooling to the discs. If all 3 paints have changed appearance, it may be necessary to increase cooling to the discs.
