Let me start by saying thier awesome! Unbelievable stopping power, no heat up required. Cold, stopping pressure is equivalent to stock. Warm, it gets a little lighter. (less foot pressure more stopping)
1st 3k miles no noise.
I'm at 5k on them now. They squeek at slow speeds, coming up to traffic lights with light pressure on brakes. Not loud enough for people to turn their heads and look.
Noise seems to go away for a while after getting them really hot on a back road.
I've heard this experience repeated with other that installed the XP8s so I think it's pretty typical.

Are you tracking the car regularly? If not, you'll probably have to re-bed regularly (or just drive like a maniac and abuse your brakes regularly). They'll de-bed themselves over time from regular cold street driving. Gets worse as you move up the range.
