I got same pads. I think you installed them incorrectly. You can also try spraying anti-squeal stuff on the BACK on the pads.

i don't know about the aem brake kit.. but i just installed the aem pads on my friend's crx si with new oem rotors. all i can say is that... it's sweet. stopping power increased and no noise. his original raybestos... or however you spell it... was fried after 2 hrs of driving on skyline blvd in cali. it's a mountain road... anyway, it needed to be replaced anyways. well, the point is... it got fried and i installled the aem pads. prior to the installation, i used the left over metal plating that came with the original raybestos pads... and installed it onto the inside pad, where the brake piston presses on. then after that... it didn't squeek at all. u can buy those at any auto store. there should be 3 clips to hold itself against the pads. the third clip will be longer... so use a hammer and gently pound it to fit. then after that install it.. there... ur problem solved!

axxis ultimate from raceconcepts.net all 4 corners $85 shipped--which is fukkin insane considering it would normally be closer to $160.

He bought a friggen e$pensive brake kit, he obviouly wants to upgrade his braking system. Why would he want a stock pad?
