I came across some original Texron pads a few years ago that also had 
this damping material on the backs.  These were OE Porsche 914 pads 
so I expected them to be great.

Great disappointment.  I never could get them to stop squealing.  I 
remain convinced that it has nothing to do with anything except the 
pad material, which we can never tell without trying.
