Wink Prodrive Brake pads

Anybody got these fitted too? Got them the other day but what a racket - only up side is it sounds like a WRC and the braking is good of course, but v loud when in Tesco car park though.

Check the fluid reservoir, if it's low then the pads need doing. Mine sound like I've got a wind chime hung off the spoiler at the mo'

No other car I've owned has ever sounded like this when the pads are low

The pads may not be greased properly on fitting.

Alternatively any shims supplied with the pads may not be in or in properly etc etc.

I thought the Prodrive pads were basically Ferrodo DS2500's?
