Im sort of relieved that I wasnt the only one who
experianced this..condition. I sort of chalked it up
to PNW roads and the fact that I had 100+ Mi in the
car.
I might be digging into possible worn components soon
as I noticed both the stut covers (?) were torn when
I just recently applied the ECS Big Red's from the GP
and had a comment: YES!!Brakes, and a question What
are the Torq specs? I was supposed to have gotten an
email from Tom or someone but never did.
I have recognized the a fair  amount of squeal from
the Mintex Red box pads..

Oh well.
