Lol. I just realized that when I had someone put them on I don't believe they lubed up anything. Is it too late to take them apart and lube them up?

The Endless pads stop well, no squeal, and low dust. I used Hawk HPS pads prior to the Endless. No offense to anyone who still run Hawk HPS pads, but those things were horrible. They squeal like a mother f'er and intial cold bite sucked major.

Make sure that if/when you get the Endless pads, that you do the proper bed-in procedure or else they won't form a good contact with the rotor.

I have the same pads for about 5k miles. excellent street pads. better than stock in wet/dry, and 10x less dust.
