Damn it, it's full already?! I guess I'll have to do the same. Got new pads installed so I should be ready for it.

Got the same ones you have just never got around to install them. Finally did it this past weekend. Glad I did the old pads were very very worn. They have been fairly quiet so far. I'm taking easy on them for the first 700 miles.

Yeah, I know. I put lots of high temperature brake grease when I installed them so I'm hoping it would stay quiet.

What kind of pads are you guys running?

Pads above mu coefficient 0.45 are almost impossible to make "quiet". On the Evolution particularly, the Carbotech Bobcat compound made a lot of noise because it was capable of generating a substantial amount of friction at low brake line pressure. Basically the pad would start resonating because it wasn't being pushed on hard enough to dampen the vibrations. The high-temp anti-squeal goop is worth a shot. In addition, make sure the slide pins between the pad and caliper bracket are clean (q-tips+brake cleaner do a good job) and regrease them. If the noise is still driving you up the wall, use a hand file and chamfer the leading edge of the pad. That also helps quell noise.
