I have this same kit. You can search under my name and will see my thread on this kit.
i still have it, been running on it for about 10k miles now. Splendid braking. Only thing I wished is that I should have told Brian to switch me some Hawk HP+ instead of the Hawk HPS that comes with the kit...

They sell it at all the parts stores, it comes in a little tube, the stuff is usually blue in color.

Check with them to see if they put it on. It goes on the back (metal) part of the pads. The directions are on it usually.
Make sure you have properly bedded the brakes as well. Do a search for the procedure.
