Help with new brakes.

Hello, and i need help with my new pads, i am not too good at explaining but ill try.
With these new pads, whenever i brake the back brakes squeel like if they were dying, its extremely loud and annoying. Now if i brake and at the same time i lift up the ebrake slowly the squeel goes away. I am trying to figure out the problem, but i really dont know what it is =/. Can someone please help me as its very annoying. Thank you.

My rear adapters from Girodisc squeal no matter what I do. When I'm not using those pads I switch back to the stock ones.

I think there is an issue with them.

I just picked up a set of Satisfied GS5's and wow what a difference. Killed my stock front pads in record time and they were driving me crazy with the dusting so swapped them out and resurfaced rotors. I could not BELIEVE the difference in both performance and dusting. Dusting was so bad I had to wash my wheels every few days. It's been almost 2 weeks and I have almost NO dust on the wheels. Should have done this when I got the car. Also, they don't squeel like crazy like the stock ones. BY the end of their tortured life the stock pads were squeeling so badly the toll booth operators were cringing despite having plenty of material left. These have been silent so far. FAR better bite at higher speeds and feel like stock around town. Best mod I've done so far. Not sure if they have rears yet but since mine weren't bad I left the stock ones in the back but am switching out simply for the brake dust issue soon!

will it affect the S-AWC ?

Hi Guys !
I have a good question for all of you.

As you know, the car has a super-all wheel drive control. It's a intelligent control car. The car will control brakes, during hard braking (ABS) or turning fast (only the side you are turning in this case).

BUT, if you change the pad's brakes, it'll change the way its going to brake. If you have high performance brake, I guess it will brake more than it's supposed to. Don't you think the car may lose good ABS braking because it brakes too hard (on snow, dust) and may over turn during fast cornering ???

I'm looking for low dust pads but I don't trust it very well.

What is your experience about it ?
