[s-cars] Pagid Squeal

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

On the material of the pad, comparing it to the mintex
reds that I took off when doing rotors/pads, the pagid
oranges look and feel like sandpaper.  I probably
didn't bed them properly and with city driving, you
have to occasionally do a high speed braking
re-bedding session to prevent pad deposits.  Probably
due to the fact that I didn't seat them properly.  Oh,
well, live and learn (slowly).
