"I love the Hawks because of the "no brake dust" but I may have to swich back to OEM. At this point, I almost prefer cleaning my wheels on a regular basis rather than deal with the squeaks. It's less embarassing...."

Amen to that...I had no idea what I was signing up for :/

 

Wait for all the people who are saying it's squeaking, did you properly bed in the brakes? Did your installer properly apply the grease?

If these two steps are not done correctly your pads will squeak! All the installs that I have done have resulted in ZERO issues with squeaking.

If you are dealing with squeaking, the easiest thing to do first is try the bed in process again. Do 5-10 hard stops from 25mph - 5mph and then another 5-10 from 35-5mph. DO NOT DRAG THE BRAKES.

For those who bought the Hawk HPS pads from me, I am committed to helping you get these brakes properly installed w/o issues. Please contact me via PM if you need any assistance.

Yes. The pads were bed in per your instructions Michael. I actually did it twice and I was squeak-free for a week. Then it came back for a few days with a vengeance. Since then I've just dealt with it and not drag my brakes.

I'm sure there are tons of people out there who have Hawks with no squeaks. Im just one of the unlucky ones I guess.
