So, unless the stock pads are worn down below the 50% mark, I would encourage you to save some money and try the bedding one more time. If they're near the end of their life, then go for the Posi-Quiets. You'll like them.

I do already have the Posi Quiet pads (not stock pads) that's why I'm curious as to why the squeal comes back. I've bed them in twice according to your instructions and I can't see how the pads could be worn down in 16 months but I do brake kinda hard normally (that's why I'm contemplating new pads???). I'll try another round of bedding them in and evaluate again. Thanks Dave!
