i did everything right and even bedded the brakes and let cool etc.... but when i was lookign for parking and i would slowly press it or just a quick tap it would squeak, seems like it is worst than the stock brembos. I have had it on for about a week and a half now.. any solutions?

 

in a nutshell, most performance brakes squeak. wats the big deal?

 

Yup.

 

Well... i don't want to be driving a 40k dollar car and going down the road with a squeaky brakes.

 

I have Hawk HPS w/ stock rotors & have no squeaks...

 

not even when you tap it.. or when braking, squeaks at the start of braking?

 

should not be squeaks.did you bed it?
it's a procedure to break in the pad.i think somebody posted up before..also if i'm not mistaking it's on either Hawk's site or Stoptech brake site

 

Yea i did bed in the brakes... i repeated the procedure of going fast and stopping but not completely over and over and then let it cool..

it wouldn't be anythign with the metal shingles??? just out of curiosity! I did took them out of the old pads and put them in the new ones with some brake quite.

 

did you get your rotors resurfaced?

 

did you use the orange brake quiet on the back of the pads and let it set before putting the pads into the calipers? Also, it helps to use the brake parts lubrication (green gel) on all the sliding parts / pins. You need a lot of the orange brake quiet though...after that, it shouldn't squeak.

 

yeh, i see what you mean.

Brake Quiet is a must and should be used everytime you change pads. You can buy it at any auto parts store.

 

yes i use brake quite

 

hummm... the next step would be to get the rotors resurfaced.
