the pads are so hard because they are for fadee free performance blah blah blah that the slots are digging into them.

if you change type of pads, chage rotors too. they get fucked if you start mismatching them mid way through. just get new pads a rotors, problem solved

if it sounds like a knife scraping, thats probably the wear indicator which means its time to get new ones.

i like my aem pads. however these are the first pads i ever changed from oem.

did you get brembo blanks that were drilled by some shop? that could explain a lot. if you got the real brembos that are drilled by brembo, i think theyre about 150/pair or something.

I've got brembo drilled/slotted rotors with AEM pads. At first they sounded noisy, but after a few days they seated properly and now they're fine. Maybe your rotors need to be turned or?
