raybestos qs pads

I just put in raybestos qs pad in front, they squeal like crazy, took them off and sanded the disk and pads, out them back in, still squeal a little, but the main problem is that there is a grind sound from the pad/disk area. Sounds like a wear indicator noise, but the pads are new. Don't have a clue what it could be.
Thanks
Al

I had the same problem with grinding and squealing up front when i put QS pads on. Make sure that your rotors are good first off all. And for the squealing, make sure you put anti-squeal grease on all contact points of the pads except for the lining itself, and you just have to drive around for a bit before they stop making noise...at least that's what i did.

Well I should wrap this up before I start to ramble.

Yes they do that, I have them for rear breaks and they are very annoying. I am going to get rid of them by summer time. I can't stand it.
