Is this normal? I believe it sounds as though the rotors are also rubbing the pads at slow speed enough to hear the scraping. While stopping and also at low speed there is a definative squeak. I was unsure if this is normal or if the pads were not seated correctly. Any info would be appreciated.

I did not see that paper. They came in so late tonight UPS (8 pm) that I was already working by flashlight. It is cold as anything so I was trying to hustle through getting them on the passenger side and then tearing down the driver. I also did rotors and flushed the system today. Unfortunately my friend who was helping was much too efficient and threw everything away already. However, I will maybe just give it a day and see by the end of tomorrow if I have to pull it all apart again?

1. After installing new brake pads, make 6-10 stops from approximately 30-35 mph applying moderate pressure.
2. Make an additional 2 to 3 hard stops from approximately 40-45 mph.
3. DO NOT DRAG BRAKES!
4. Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
5. After step 4 your new pads are ready for use.

I found the source after I got back home from driving a day. The retaining clip somehow was bent downwards over the vents of the rotor and was just slightly rubbing the edge. It could have been worse had it been rubbing the rotor directly.
Problem solved (other than the apparent Hawk squeak)! Thanks all!
