I have been running the Repcos on the 4KS since last summer and have
*never* heard a peep (or squeak) from them. My previous set of pads were
OEM and they squealed like a stuck pig for about the first couple of
thousand miles before they "seated".
I used some of that rubbery anti-squeal goo on the back of the pads when
I installed the Repcos and they've been fine.
Oh yea, my hardware was pretty rusty at the time too. I cleaned it with
a wire brush and coated the sliders liberally with anti-seize compound
before reassembly. No probs.
Anti-squeal, anti-seize, anti-lock, anti-freeze...
Car guys can be so negative!
