EBC Red Stuff Squealing after bed in advised in forum

Hi All,

I just put on new OEM rotors and EBC red stuff pads on the rear of my car after following the DIY on this forum. I put on some anti squeal grease on the back of the pads and on the caliper part where the pads sit on.

Then, i followed the high speed bed in process recommended from the DIY, going to 50-60 and slowing to 10, probably 6 times. On the last few times, it started to squeak really bad.

I have read that red stuff squeaks for the first 500-1000 miles, and i wanted to make sure that this is usually what happens?

However, i am worried that i did the bed in wrong. I went on the EBC site and found out their recommended bed in process is the exact opposite of what i read on the forum! It recommends to not apply heavy force on the brakes for the first 3-400 miles.

Troubleshooting Information | EBC Brakes

Can someone tell me if the high speed bed in was a mistake? And if it wasnt, will the squeal stop after a few hundred miles? its really loud as it comes to a stop.

thanks
