Chuck and Kurt - Thanks for the ref, I think I recall reading that thread but nothing really set in about "counterfeit pads" I guess that never really crossed my mind as I wouldn’t think there would be a big market there... people will do anything to make a buck I suppose.

Thanks for the tips on bedding and the anti-squeak lube. I read several of Andrew's posts about the anti-squeak application the night before, that the definitely the way i plan to go. There’s nothing more annoying than squeaky brakes! Well I can think of a lot of things, but you know what I'm saying.
