Would you normally use shims/paste with a track pad?
(I'm asking because I had some Endless MX72 pads fitted to my M4 and after multiple attempts to re-bed, they still squeal like a stuck pig when coming to a standstill with warm brakes - wondering whether it's worth taking them out and re-fitting with extra anti-squeal)

The OEM anti-squeal shims are non removable. They are also not designed to withstand track usage: before I put pagids in I did a track day on the OEM pads and the shim pads cracked and melted, so now they are gone
I use some anti-squeal paste on the pagids, just for the sake of it. When bedded in well they are hardly louder than stock on the street.
