squealing brakes 850 1994

Breaking in pads: A series of moderate pressure stops. Speed up to about 20 mph, bring car to a stop with moderately strong pressure. Back up to 20, let it run for a short way to cool things off and bring it to a stop again. Do this about 8-10 times. Avoid, if at all possible, hard stops for the next 100 miles. All of this is designed to 'set' the pads and avoid glazing them which causes squeal.

I have the same IPD setup PBR metal masters with Zimmerman rotors. About 15k miles with zero problems. One other thing, be sure that the rotors are carefully cleaned of the protectant film--this will cause pad glazing and squeal
