Well that explains the sounds ive had since the projetc mu pads install. That sucks though because considering its my daily driver the ackwardness of squeaking around town doesnt outweigh the braking help.
Question if i were to upgrade to the stoptech bbk all around does this basically guarantee squeaks for life or can i still find a perf pad that doesnt make a chalkboard sound?

The pads are more abrasive causing the noise. It is complaints like this by unknowing people that caused the Z to get heavier the past couple of years (sound deadening material) and the G to lose the Brembos (BRAKE NOISE). If you are looking for a lincoln go buy one, cars are not magic, it cant be all things to all people, there are tradeoffs!!!
+1 the stoptechs on my 03 squeak & they're 2 months old. haven't heard anything on my 06 yet, but then again, i'm still breaking it in.

Cool so maybe i should just go with some stock brembos that are for sale so i get some aesthetic qualities and better breaking than the enthusiast model? I believe they were the b-force ones. Appreicate the help by the way, i was only joking with you about the flipping out comment anyway

Actually I'm really glad you "flipped out" and said this because I definitely didn't think about that although it makes perfect sense. I have the same problem, especially when cold. Thanks man!
