Hi all, I installed Ebc HH pads on the fronts of my 5th gen and now experience noise i would describe as the holes in the rotors passing by the pads. Not sure if this is normal with these or not, Operation is fine,way more bite than the factories. Just a little concerned about the noise. Have not heard this as being the case with everyone recommendng these. Thanks,

The "whizzing" sound is characteristic of EBC HH pads.

Totally normal, go ride and enjoy the bacon!

The noise will lessen once they seat in, until you grab a big handful of brake again and they will be audible then.  Completely normal though, along with some squeaking sometimes too.  The better the brakes work the noisier they usually are.  Enjoy your new found stopping power!!
