Default Does EBC warrenty against never-ending brake squeak?
I've had the brakes for about 500 miles and they've started squeaking like crazy. THey've always sqeaked off and on but recently it's become a consistant thing. It's driving me crazy. I've read from everyone that EBC will replace faulty pads, does this count? Thanks.

Yes, but did you champfer and use brake adhesive as part of the install?

Default Mine squeal too at very slow speed stops...I keep hoping it'll stop, but it doesn't
We did chamfer the edges and used adhesive. I'm not overly concerned about it, but it'd be nice if it would stop.

Default There is no instruction from EBC concering install...champfering is...
just a given for a brake pad install...using brake adhesive and even baking (curing) pads can be done.

You'll still be able to have them cover them.

If continues let me look at them...squeal should be practically nonexistant.
