I installed these Hawk ceramic pads and they are squeaky why??? I thought they were supposed to be better than the stock ones wich were really nice and quiet.

 

i have the HPS pads and they are an improvement over stock for sure...did your silencer pieces fall out?

 

I have had them for a couple months now and I havent heard a sound. Knock on wood......

 

mine started to squeak after about 3 months or so. The dusting was also horrible, my chrome wheels were black after a week.

 

Mine make some noise but its only when I am driving slow and hit the brakes. So its embarrasing going crusing. If im doing like 45 on a street and hit the brakes it makes no noise. No dust here though, Its very minimal.

 

HPS here, no noise, but don't grab as well as my OEM's. However, I also replaced the rotors, and have a slight grinding (pressure) sound on front passenger side when hard braking.

Dusting is about the same as my OEM pads, or slighly better.

ON over 7 mos now

 

HPS + pads here.. yeah they make some noise and some dust but i could care less since you can barely hear em over my exhaust and i keep my car clean so the dust doesnt build up a whole lot. but if your gettin allot of noise from the HPS pads im betting its the silencer pieces or ther not bedded correctly

 

The HPS pads I have do dust a lot, but they do a great job of not fading when driving gets aggressive, or a long down hill run. They make noise at low speed with low pedal pressure.

 

I must be lucky. My hawks never made noise and produced virtually no brake dust.

 

A quite pad and the "best" pad dont necessarily go hand in hand. The hawk pads are incredibly grippy and work very well, however, most performance based brake pads will make some noise. If you are only driving it on the street and really dont want any squeeks, try a pad like the panther plus.

 

I have the hps pads and after a while they're squeaking a little but not all the time, it's quite sporadic.

They stop a whole bunch better than my stock pads, though.
