That should be the case, but I should have clarified it further.

It's much easier to just remove the clip to see if it alleviates the problem first. The clip is there to keep the pads from rattling around, but the tension sometimes keeps the pad too close to the disc, after release, and causes a slight drag (dust). If it doesn't fix your issue, you have eliminated the problem that could cause the excessive dusting, after that one could conclude the pad is not what it said it was.

i think you need to re read my post. its not the dusting of the pads thats the issue. look at the pictures of where the pad is resting on the rotor. its too close to the edge of the rotor. I also have a X. these pads are ment for an evo IX and they come with adapter plates to fit on a X. this is where the issues is coming into play.

did you bed in the pads? from the first post it reads like you didnt.....

If you didn't clean them off since having your old pads on then thats why they squeak. Improper installation will cause squealing. You need to sand the rotors to get rid of the old pad material, half assing the job will result in unfavorable results.

Im having the same problem with the squeeling....maybe someone can help me on this one......All new rotors from girodisc, axxis ultimate pads, and motul 600 fluid...Like silver06 mentioned, kinda hard to mess things up, i did exactly what was shown. Bed-in was like this: 60 MPH and moderate braking....then 40 MPH and moderate braking...now i have a squeel so bad on the passenger side it hurts. Funny thing is this, its only in light braking that it squeels, and the driver side has a different squeel....something like a lower pitch squeel almost. Any ideas?

yes.

you shouldnt have to sand down your rotors when changing pads. the car is a DD, has had no heavy braking. I have 3000 + miles on new pads, the old material is gone. There was no improper installation, just Sh*t pads that dont fit with or without the adapter plates.

Sanding the disks is something you do if you have a rough cut on your rotors after having them turned.

Maybe that will help you out some. Once you put the disc brake quiet on, you have to let it set. I run this on my DS2500's and have no more noise than the stock pads.

This ^ , or if you still have the factory brake pad shims from the oem pads install those and take off the aftermarket shims. i did that on my pads after the squealed like hell and it all went away. I believe it has something to do with the vibration caused between the back of a break pad where it contacts the pistons and the shims between them.

The X pads have an adapter plate so it can fit IX rear pads. The ix and X are very different when it comes to brakes this wont work.

I used that exact disc brake quiet like i said in my OP, it didnt work.

I fixed mine by putting the CRC disc brake quiet between the pad shim and the pad, then I cleaned everything and used brake grease between the pad and caliper pistons. Worked well!

I installed the same pads. They were fine for a couple of hundred miles, and then the right rear squealed bad under light braking. It was really annoying. After another few hundred miles it just one day stopped squealing. Not sure why it started or stopped. I too did the bedding when they were first installed.
