Brake pads
Ricked_Em:
I've tried almost every pad known to man and I am currently on boxx x-rays and am super happy. Kind of an investment at $22 but you can replace just the pad for like $8 later down the road.

Really? I try to not use my brakes since they sound like air raid alarms. Would it be a good idea to put grease or copper paste on the brake lugs?

It's not about the lube, it's the slop of the fit. Some people have apparently shimmed it somewhat with teflon tape in the past, there was a Bg thread
The Outsider:
I had that problem once with my Springfields and the clear pads. Turns out I had the pads upside down since they toe in the opposite way of conventional pads.
dude...:

Try teflon tape on the brake mounts.
