There is something wrong with your Alcons then as mine don't schreech at all. What pads are you running?

Same set up as me then, except I run with Stainless hoses and DOT 4.0 (4.1? can't remember, but didn't bother with 5.1, got mine from scoobysport (Silkolene race stuff) and its good). Weird. How did u bed them in, and have you used them in anger recently? If all they get is very light use then it's possible they have glazed = squeeks and inefficient. Some big stops (a few fast 70-10mph somewhere safe) should sort that out if its the problem.

Just for info: same setup here (Alcon/DS2000) no squeeks. In fact it's about the only thing that doesn't squeek, rattle, cloink or crunches on the car
