brake quiet vs brake grease

What do u put on the back of the pads?

Usually nothing if there are shims but a little brake grease on the sliders/pins.

Ive switched out my stock pads for track pads (PFC08) and vice versa multiple times already and I have not put anything on them. Stock pads are quiet, track pads.... There isn't enough brake grease in the world to make those quiet.

I'd suggest avoiding any aftermarket brake quiet on the pads. The factory pads have shims and weights. Race pads are gonna squeak/be loud, regardless
