[QUOTE="RADvelociRaptor, post: 1504688, member: 42217"] i'm with most of the guys here... i wouldn't necessarily blame alcon yet. I own a performance shop and have used / installed them all (brembo, alcon, akebono, etc). Performance pads will squeek / screech when cold, no way around it. But when warmed up, it shouldn't screech like hell though.... unless there is a mechanical / install issue underlying, the only culprit that we always end up noticing when dealing with an issue like yours usually lies on the bed in process after installing the brakes. 3 out of 4 times, a shop will install new pads and rotors, or even full caliper upgrades but completely miss or not perform the bed in process after installation. if mechanically you are all set for sure... best i can say is have the rotors resurfaced lightly and slap on some new pads (or reuse the ones you have) and perform the bed in process accurately. this is where we end up usually. best of luck! don't give up on those brakes... they are completely badass and well worth the $$$ [/QUOTE]
