[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 8603821, member: 51847"] This is how I've been trying to break in my pads. [url=http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm]Instructions for bedding in your brakes[/url] From my understanding you don't want to go crazy trying to slow down while breaking them in, but you do want to brake fairly firm. I did not grease the back of my pads, but I don't feel that thats the problem. I feel that these pads are just glazing over and squeaking. Other than them being loud they seem to be great pads. They stop hard when you slam on them, but they are not grabby under normal conditions. They do dust pretty bad.(atleast for the time I've had them) IMO some things are just better to use factory parts than aftermarket parts for a street car. Examples are factory batteries, filters, rotors,(for a Terminator anyway) and in this case brake pads. I know when you change parts you want to try and improve your performance, but think about it, the factory pads stop the car good, they're not noisey, and they are a very good street pad IMO. When you buy them you know they are a quality product that should work with no issue. [/QUOTE]
