brakes including new cylinders and Axxis deluxe pads (they may be metal

are fantastic. I mean I have complete confidence in their stopping power and
accuracy. But, MAN, do they squeal! It doesn't bother me until I have a
passenger and see their face scrunch up in high frequency pain.
What can I do? I don't believe I "set them in" as previous posts described.
Is my only recourse new pads?

Victor,
I had the same problem and it turned out the rotors had been turned too thin.
I got another (used) pair, had them turned and the problem went away. It
seems once they get down to about .035" there is some harmonic that sets up
and you can't get rid of it. The original thickness is about .042" I think.
