I'm sure they are fine then. When you rebuilt your calipers there is a guide
pin that the piston rides on, how did they look? If that pin is bent your
piston will hang up (ask me how I know) and cause it to bind and not release
off the rotor. Then the pad(s) will heat up and squeel. If you tap the
breaks that will stop it momentarily.

They are the stock replacement pads
purchased through Dean. I believe they are originally for a jag?
