I am using Red Stuff pads.
As a side note, I just replaced the front rotors, calipers and pads on my old Ford Probe with all NEW, not refurb parts for a sum total of $32 SHIPPED from Rock Auto. Go figure.
I have brake lubricant and I shall use it, I have new pads and rotors for the back but will only use them if there is too much wear.
The car has always been like this for six years. I do not know what is going on but it should not be like this.
Thinking about the sticky pad idea I have decided that this is no way to cause the problem as the pads are not connected to the cylinders so it would have to be the cylinders that are not returning.
