I beg to differ...I have ATE pads on my car, and there's a real bad squeak. The weird thing is that it occurs whenever I have partial brakes applied; if I hit the brakes hard, I don't get the noise. The pads are a couple of months old, and have been doing this since new.

Otherwise, they've been working great. I'll need to replace the front calipers next time I do the brakes, though...
