I have Pagid orange which are the RS4-4 and I was told they were going to be noisy but nothing, except when it is very cold below 10c and as soon as they warm perfect. I think you will be able to fix this problem.

You have trackday pads on your streetcar... Well, just drive faster all the time, and they won't squeal......
Your mechanic wants to sell you the OE pads and make money...
Thing is, Pagid makes excellent pads, and also make OE pads for Porsche, Mercedes, and many others..
If you want a grabby pad, they will most likely squeal at the slow around town speeds....
If you star stepping it up a bit, they will come alive and not make a peep...
My $0.02

great posts........ you all nailed it. my braking power has been incredible with this light car and no noise when braking hard from 120 mph or whatever.... i could also go about a 70 k miles on these pads easy. but they are still loud. could try making the existing pads quieter, but i think i'll just go ahead and replace them.
so, my Q: anyone know who sells a nice set of quieter front 928 GTS pads for not too much $$$$ ?
i was thinking i'd run it by you all before calling Paragon or Autohaus, AZ. thanks.
