Default Brakes noisy ? Brake pads?

I changed my brake discs and pads for grooved discs and fast road Kevlar pads

From cold the pads are quite but if I'm driving down the motorway they start slightly making a noise they also sweak when the pads are warm when I brake, could this just be noisy pads?

I've just fitted the same combintaion, and have no problems. Not had it for a long run yet though.

Did you re-fit the shims from the old pads?

I had a similar problem, it turned out that the lower pistons on the front driver caliper were not going back in to place properly, had the caliper freed up and now get no noise at all.

if you are near Rickmansworth, Herts give Steve Hughes at Hughberry motors a call. he is a subaru expert and sorted me out.
