Installed EBCs at 15,000 (08 RK). No squeaks but the fronts have always made a slight "fluttering" noise while rolling along. It quiets when the brakes are applied. The rear is just the opposite, it is quiet while running down the road but makes that fluttering noise when the brake is applied. I would liken it to a soft cicada chirp that varies with speed. I don't remember any similar noise from the factory Brembos. As the price is not much different, I plan to go back to the Brembo pads at the next change. Now have 29,000 total on the machine, so only about 14k on the EBCs. They seem to be wearing better than the factory pads and a bit less dust. Also, I notice no difference in stopping effort between the two brands.
