Default HP + Brake squeal...any solutuions

So I have HP + Brake pads on the front and rear with WS6store.com drilled and slotted rotors. And they squeak and squeal like crazy...The dust doesn't bother me but the squeal at low speeds is a killer.

Does anyone have a solution or fix rather than getting new pads?

Mine squeal a little too but maybe not as bad as you are describing. Maybe lube the back side of the pads?

Nope, those pads tend to squeal... and that's a big reason I tend to recommend the HPS if noise is *any* concern.

Take the pads off, clean the backs and put anti seize on the pads wherever they touch anything.

Regular bolt and nut anti seize.

I've heard the same. I have the same WS6Store rotors on my car with the el cheapo pads from Autozone and have no problems at all
