i love the sound of an agressive pad

Yeah I put high temp grease on them and used the stock shims.

mine still squeak now and then...prob going to go for another brand once they need changing though...

WD-40? WTF??
did you friend tell you to put tire shine all over the whole tire as well and not just the side that people see??

LOL Yeah I pretty much dont even listen to him anymore!! Some of the **** he says is pretty ****ing stupid!

This guy is either a completely hopeless idiot or master of deadpan humor. I can just hear his logic (wry or not) :

1. WD-40 makes things stop squeeking.
2. My brakes are squeeking.
3. Therefore, my brakes need WD-40

QED

It's all in the install. I installed mine myself and got a little bit of squeals here and again. When I got my Brembo's replaced the dealer installed the pads great - No squeals. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to bleed the brakes and that's a story in itself. I would just make sure to use plenty of antiseize.

LOL Yep! Thats prob how his brain works!!!

Yeah I used quite a bit on them! I just dont think that it was rated a high enough temp for my brakes.

im bringing this back because i also got hawk hps pads and have alot and i mean ALOT of LOUD sqeaking...now i heard about re-using the stock shims but my friend helpted me out doing the pads and rotors he put the pads in...and i asked him if he re-used it and he told me that the new pads came with them...do hawk hps come with shims or what? because my brakes are unberably loud.
thanks

these pads SUCK A$$ they fade they are loud as ***** they suck go with ferodo 2500 thats what im running on rotora rotors

What about the Hawk ceramic pads?

There is anti vibration gel you can put on the backs of the pads as mentioned. Outside of that, pressurewash the brakes when cool to remove all the dust.

I thought mine would never stop squeaking when I first got them. I just went through the bed in process a few times. It finally went away. It was embarrassing pulling up to a stop light.

Yes, as TTP said, you have to spray the backs with this anti squeal spray. It gets rid of the metal to metal contact, which eliminates the squealing. The noise you hear are the brake pads vibrating against the caliper.
