AEM Big brake... did you buy the kit that uses OE rotors, or did you get the kit with the 4 piston calipers?

They have the 4 piston calipers
I have heard there was a breaking in period, but nothing that sounded to positive. I just hate pullling up at a light, and hearing the damn squeek So you guys just think it will take a few miles to get em to stop?

many aftermarket pads are harder than the OEM pads and will squeek a little.

Default aem big brake kit

Igot the same kit on my car and the thing you got to watch is that the pads don't hang over the edge of the rotor. That is one thing the other if you are using a very aggressive pad, like for racing it will always make that noise unless you get some heat in them.Had a mustang with 13.5 inch rotors in the front and 12.5 in the rear and the thing sounded like a bus coming to a stop when they were cold.
