Cam I went with EBC when I replaced my brakes and they worked perfect. Lasted as long as my bike. Never replaced them except once.

i should have some Galfer Greens on mine for this sunday, i'll let you know how they work out.
they also make a full system, i think oversize with ss braided lines.. for when i get a little more spending $$

The ebc pads work great, but they have different levels of compounds that work better. the stock pads work just as well but they will be more consistent and they dissipate heat much quicker.
EBC pads are also 1/2 the price...it comes to personal preference.
i will only run stock pads in the rear, front i am not so picky...
kx666:
what year is your kx? i could be wrong but ithink they did make a change in the ft brake in '92. i am not positive but just to make sure. I can look it up when i get home tonight.

The service runout for both ft and rear is .01". Standerd tolorence is .006". (for the c-1, i missplaced my newer manual) so that is not the problem...
have you check out your disc? the service limit for disc thickness is .1" (standard is .12-.13") again this book is for the C-1 (i think that is like 1988???)
if there is any grooves, cracks or chips in your disc that would cause the "high potched squeeler" also just for S&G's when was the last time you blead your brakes?
