Just cut my cross drilled/slotted Brembos and installed EBC Green Stuff pads. Went through the break in (15 times 35-5 and 55-20) and I've been really gentle on the brakes. I'm hearing a loud creaking from the driverside and it seems to be during rotation intervals. I'm hoping it's just a spot on the rotor that'll come off or a combo of the pads and the rotors not perfectly flush yet. I'm planning on waiting it out a couple of days and seeing what happens.

I have a similar creak that I hear in drive thru lines (wall to reflect the sound) when I creep slowly. Most of that sound was gone after 500 or so miles. I noticed break in takes a little longer with xdrilled\slotted rotors.

I just installed new brake rotors that are crossdrilled and slotted and new metalmaster pads all around. I also had to change my front passenger side caliper and brake hose. The rear calipers were done about a year and a half ago with the all the rotors and pads.
I find the brakes have great stopping power but require too much effort compared to other cars I've driven. I have only had this car for just about a year now and noticed that the previous owner spent lots of money on brake work. I also put brand new Yokohama AVS dB AVS S2 Ultra high perfomance all season tires 205 60 vr 15.
I found that after the break-in period the brakes feel much better. I did hear a noise from my front passenger wheel, but not anymore. I still believe that my car requires more effort to stop the car than I like.
