I love getting some heat in the brakes, they don't squeal as much as sing out. By the end of an autocross run, or a spirited drive around town, they sound awesome! I used to stare at people that had loud brakes and wondered what in the hell they were thinking; now I look to see if I know them.

Is this "singing" normal for the Bendix Titanium pads? I am contemplating putting some on my SVT, but do not want noisy brake pads. I haven't seen any other reports of the Bendix Titanium pads being noisy. Is this just a function of them being hotter while autocrossing?

Thanks for the input. I will go with the Bendix Titanium pads then, sounds like just what I am looking for (no noise, low dusting, good braking performance).

Has anyone had problems with warping rotors and Bendix brakes? I have Raybestos Quiet Stop ceramic pads and since installing them I have warped 3 sets of rotors. I can only assume that the pads are causing the problem.
