Hey, I also have an Avant and a 94 S-4 and both of them have the ECS Stage 2
brake setup. If you don't seat the pads in they will squeel for thousands of
miles. I am on my sixth set of pads with this setup and I have found that the
key to getting rid of the squeel quick is to change the pads a couple days
before a track event. Do the normal 10 or so 60mph to 0 stops and so on and then
go to the track and flogg the hell out of them. After about 20 minuets on the
track they will never squeel again.
