Have you tried using the performance friction pads instead of the albany pads? I agree...the albany pads are crap (though cheap and you always get what you pay for) but the performance friction are pretty good.

I have PFCMs on my '93 Silverado 4x4 and they won't shut the hell up. They've been on for over 2 years, you figure they would be quiet by now. I also work with a guy who used to work for them and he said they are known for squeaking a lot. Granted, my truck will stop like hell, but it squeaks. I just put Raybestos pads on my RS and I don't hear anything. They weren't the most expensive ones and only ran about $20 at Pep Boys.


FYI...
