I have the Hawk HPS pads on mine and they do not squeel at all, I have not had any noise out of them at all.

I have only had them on about a month though, but so far so good

street pads, I'd go with Hawk HPS or Porterfield RS-4. I used the HP+ for a little while till warranty replaced them for OEM, they're really noisy on the street. I use Hawk Blue for track days.

For street pads, I would NEVER GO with Hawk HPS. It doesn't bite. The pads need to warm up or heat up before it starts biting. Maybe for track but not street.

Street pads need to have good intial bite but Hawk HPS does not. In street driving, you never know what car, person, or thing may pop up in front of you and you don't have time for the pads to warm/heat up.

If its raining or snowing(no experience in snow) and its cold, you better start pumping your brake early to warm it up.

Just my thought/opinion and experience.
