Brake Squeal!
I put New Power Stop Track pads, New SS brake lines, New AC Delco Rotors. I also rebuilt the Stock GM Calipers on my C6 ZO6. Did the recommended brake in 60 mph stop 10x. cool down. 80 mph stop 10x. We put 60 miles on the new pads, and they squeal bad! When I drive thru town at 25 mph they squeal ( when they get warm) I reached out to Power Stop, They want proof of purchase and 3 forms of ID ( sarcasm) before they answer my question. any suggestion?

The z24 or z26 power stop pads would likely work better for you. But even those street performance pads can be a little noisy when not warmed up. Part of the game with a sports car vs a luxury sedan.
