Just installed these pads last night to get ready for trackday tomorrow. I used the stock shims, but didn't use the anti-seize cream. During the bedding process (followed the Stoptech's bedding guides), the pads made some moderate noises. However, the pads are dead quiet with just regular driving around the town today. This is certainly not what I expected based on researching this forum. Anyways, I will do like a mini-review of these pads when I get back from the track. Thanks.
