I just got my aem brake pads installed but now its making these noises. As if its a worn out brake pad. The sound comes and goes. I even resurfaced the rotors. Dont know whats the problem

Maybe you forgot the backing plate grease.

how long have you had them on? maybe they're still breaking in. ive heard people say that AEM pads squeel with OEM rotors. that might be another problem

the break pads squeel when they are cold or wet .. once they warm up tho, the sound goes away

It still makes a sound when its hot too. ITs wierd it only does it some times.

oh yea, you can't SLAM on the brakes for the first 200 miles or so.... it's called the break-in period.

I just installed the AEM pads today with some drilled/slotted rotors... no noise whatsoever... I really like the way they feel, my front end is much smoother now when I brake, My OEM rotors must have been warped or something. Anyways, I paid 100 for the rotors and 50 for the pads so for 150, it was one of the best mods I've done so far.

squeeks and squeals are caused by two things. 1, being the pads are worn and thus the pads will squeal, and 2, if they are not proporly greased they will squeal also. they make brake pad grease, and also this tacky adhesive spray that you can use too, stops squeeks. stops the majority of friction of metal to metal contact, friction = virbration, vibration = squeeks/squeals.
