Default Noisy brake pads
Are EBC Double H Sintered brake pads known to be noisy?

I replaced all 6. Noticed noise from front when braking right away, after a few hundred miles I hear a different but similar noise when brakes are not applied. This 2nd noice could be the tires or anything else...

My fronts sound like a swarm of locusts when I apply the brakes

Sintered pads tend to make grinding noises,but they stop on a dime.

replaced rear with OEM, but fronts with EBC Double H Sintered, no noise. My wife is my brake noise expert, if they squeak I hear about it. Also used the EBC's on my RK when the OEM squeaked like crazy, but no noise after I replaced with the EBC's. I did use the template from the OEM's to apply brake grease to the back of the EBC's.

I believe one of the keys is applying brake grease to the back of the brake pads. I am getting ready to replace all my pads with EBC Double H Sintered and yes, I'll be using brake grease....

Are the EBC pads less dusty than the stock pads? My stock pads are dusty as hell.
