Front brake noise

Hey members, I changed my rotors. I went for the bling bling, so with the rotors I changed the pads. I Used stock HD front pads, was that the wrong move? They squeal like a Carolina pig [:@]. What would be my best course of action now.

RE: Front brake noise

Did you go to floating rotors or just chrome rotors? Floating is the only way to go. No noise and better stoppping power!!

Are you using polished stainless rotors? Lyndall "Z pads" are the only way to go. They produce much less brake dust, and will stop the very annoying rubbing and squealing sound. Direct Parts has them for about $40/pair.
