Really! They didn't equal that bad before the track day though. Is it because they've been through a proper heat cycle?

I think so. At least that's what happened to me. If they're heated up real good they should squeal less but it's just the nature of pads like that.

Please don't ask me to give a logical explanation, but what helped me reduce the noise was to take the pads out, clean and re-grease everything including back of the pads where pistons touch it, both fronts and rears. But at this point you might as well just put the compatible street pads in. Plus, I am too lazy, so I've decided that I just DGAF . Windows up and exhaust in track mode solves the issue for me.

Another Update!

After a couple more days of driving the squealing has gone down quite a bit. I'm wondering if the part of the pad that got super hot just needed to wear down, but noise is back to the normal level!

I run the titanium shims from op. I think it helps quiet them down. They’ll get noisy, then settle down. They’ll stick to the rotors when parked overnight after rain. You take the good with the bad. I daily on R18/R12

Pads make noise when they are not in their optimal range typically. If they make noise they are usually cold, but sometimes can be over the limit.

Not my experience with the many sets I’ve run on multiple car platforms. All pad compounds of Gloc make zero noise on track for me it’s only when using them as not intended on street they squeal and grind

Temperature Paint on the Rotor is the only way to tell.

Shake it up and test it out. It's really the only accurate way to monitor rotor surface temperatures (as close as possible without embedding thermals at or near the surface of the rotor)

Its in their description to expect noise, and usually they do. I hope you weren’t expecting something else.

I was expecting noise, and they did when I first got them. Totally expected and acceptable. The noise however, rose like 10 levels to sounding louder than a freight train after the first track day. The change in noise level is what bothered me. I thought I may have glazed them or something. But not they they are quite again I am not worried at all!

This is my experience as well with the R10/R8 combo!
