Message	Installed it before zcon2010, and im still having issues with ear piercing brake squeal that make the car extremely unpleasant to drive. I've posted on this before and was told that it was due to "pig squeal overhang" because the pads don't make full contact with the rotors. I removed the pads and found there to be a significant amount of overhang. I removed the excess on the grinder all the way to the backing plate, reinstalled and I'm still having the same problem. The pads I bought with the kit are axxis ultimates and my next move is to replace them with something else. If the problem persists, I plan on selling the whole kit and replacing it with something else. Overall if I was doing it over again I'd spend a little more to get a better kit, but hopefully new pads are the solution. Oh and it stops well enough. Hth, -Adam
