Significant Technical Input
Normally I don't come straight out and say BS!, but it's time to bring this to an end. This stuff about out-gassing creating brake squeal holds as much water as a gnat's butt. Think for just a moment.... if the friction material produced enough gas to create a squeal every single time you stepped on your brake how long would the freakin' pads last?? Think about how fast a teapot of water dissipates when the water boils hard enough to create a whistle.

The only thing those holes create is sales for the manufacturer and a reduced swept area for the pads to work against.
