My hawk pads do the same thing. I thought it was just because I didn't turn the rotors. Some say you can get a piece of 100 grit sand paper and scuff them a little bit and sometimes takes care of it.

My Hawk HP+ pads squeal a lot too. I tried putting an anti-squeel compound on the backing plate, but that only fixed it for about a week.

I also found that the squeal went away after a weekend at the track, but came back after a couple weeks.

You posted exactly the same message twice. I have merged the threads. If you did that by accident, no problem,

happens. But if you did it out of impatience or to try to get more responses, then please knock it off.

Yeah, we're called moderators and we do stuff like merge threads, educate n00bs, and ban jerks. There is a whole bunch of us too. Something to keep in mind while you chillin' on the boards, yo.
