She also said the ceramic pads are much harder and are more likely to squeal initially but will fade in time.
If it does not fade away eventually I have a 1 year warranty and they will send me new pads.
But based on what I have heard it should eventually fade away with more use and driving. I sure hope that is the case. I was also told it takes about 200-500 miles of normal driving for the pads to be fully bed in after the brake in procedure. Since I have only put on 40 miles since the installation, I know I need to drive it more. I was told to do another brake in procedure to speed up the process which involves going 40-10mph five times without stopping and then another 5 times doing 35-5 mph without stopping, then drive normally for about 5 minutes without braking if possible to allow the pad material too cure on the rotor.
The brake in procedure can be difficult to do properly specially where I live. Although I will try to do it on a highway or long stretch of road. I will just put my hazards on like I did before hoping nobody hits me lol.
