SCREEEEEEEEECH Ferodo DS2500 pads
i have the ds 2500 for 6-7 months now..... a few autox and 2 track days .... they start to SQueal like **** now 
Funny thing is when i press the brake hard, they make very little noise but I can't brake like that when I have passenger in my cars so my solution is turn up the radio a bit

Thread revive:
I had my ferodos front and rear installed by AMS with girodisc shims. They literally scream EVERY stop i make, hot or cold. They don't when I make harder, more abrupt stops however.
Did the greaser work for you, Noize?

willing to sell them? heh... i love the ferodo's
as for the squealing... i've had the ferodo 2500's on for about 6 months... only time i really have any bad squealing is under really slow braking... like when i'm parking... but it's not nearly as bad as you describe...

this is what I got which completely stopped the same problem I was facing with DS2500's. before I got these, I used to go for drives almost every weekend and punish my brakes so that they would stop sqeeling for a few hours

BTW, although the web page recommends not to use Brake (anti-squeak) grease with these, I used that as well. no problems for the past year - quiter than the stock set up which used to make noise every once in a blue moon.

as he said but use the shims I recommended above if you are unsuccesfull with the stockers.
Properly bedded in, they shouldn't squeal that badly.
(1) Remove pads
(2) Liberally spray back of pad with anti-squeal spray
(3) Reinstall with pad shims
(4) Bed in pads per procedure on stoptech.com
Or do a track event, that'll quiet them down for a while.
Brakes are like a woman, they tend to whine if you're not beating on them.
Or something.

Even during autocrosses, I can hear them screaming from 1/4 mile away (when someone else is driving).
I would suggest NOT placing grease/lubricant between the fiber shim and the pad. Instead follow what the factory did originally: stick the fiber shim back on the pad back clean, apply lubricant to the piston side of the metal shim liberally. I also lubricated the inside of the metal shim.
I also lubed the outside edges of the pad, the top of the pad, the upper and lower areas in the caliper where the sides of the pad rest against, and everywhere the spring clip touched the retaining pins. After assembly I pried the clips down away from the pins and made sure there was still plenty of lube against the pin (since I dragged the pin across them.)
