The pads needed grinding down each end as they were a bit of a tight fit. you shouldn't need to file the ends of the pads, did you clean all the crud from underneath the pad guides as they should sit flush with the caliper and there should then be plenty of room for the pads to go in

Hey Doug, gave them a quick clean, didn't strip the calipers though.
Only had to file down both outer pads on the calipers, insides fitted snug.
Just been out for a few hours and given them a bit of a breaking in.
All seems good. Don't want to speak to soon but might have been where my mintex were too easy fitting that produced the squeal.
Loving the no noise slow breaking at the mo, will update as I go.

ok, hopefully you won't get any squeal although might be worth cleaning the crud behind them if you get any recurring probs

If You want serious stopping power; look for Carbotech, etc. Then EBC looks like a joke... VERY true, but Carbotechs squeal like a duo of drunk donkeys at a karaoke party. But boy, do they stop, you'll be eating the windscreen before you can say "When" as in "When I tap the dashboard, brake" My last squeal free setup were 3G discs and Pagid RS14 yellows, pretty good for road use and track days tbh. Carbotechs are simply another level. And M-TEC and EBC yellows, cheaper option still and work fine on the road, bit vague when cold mind

That's fine. I've done a double check and they seem fine.
Waiting to fit them this weekend with the black edition MTEC disc brakes I've just got.

The ones on my Sprinty are the loudest squealing pads I've ever heard. Think I'm gonna go for Yellow stuff's on the front and see if it cures it!
