Message	I installed this kit last year right before z-con and I only have one complaint, and it doesn't have to do with the kit. It looks great, it's stopping power is just what I need, but cold stopping the pads are noisy, I mean REALLY noisy. Like skinning a cat alive noisy, so noisy that when I do drive it I keep the windows rolled up to keep my eardrums from hurting (literally!) and the wife doesn't want to ride in it this year until I put new pads on it noisy. I think you all get it. I knew that a more aggressive pad might be a little noisy for street driving but it is ridiculous. I've spoken with some individuals who have the PBR /axxis metal masters with other brake setups and they have no complaints of noise so I'm wondering a few things before I pull the trigger on a new set of pads. 1. If you have the 13" z1 kit, what pads do you run with it and how is the noise for street driving? 2. If you have pbr/ axxis metal masters with another brake setup, how is the noise for street driving? I don't know if it's the combination of the kit with the pads that's making the noise or what. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, -Adam
