Hawk HPS Brake Pad Squeal Squeak 1

Window is down in this clip. Here is my car after I installed the Hawk HPS brake pads. Brake Rotors were turned and cleaned. I followed in the bed-in procedure step by step exactly how it was written. Hawk claims these pads are virtually "noise free"....LOL, you be the judge!!!

gotta be install, file the ends little bit 45 degree. Stick with metalics on beemers

the ends come angled from the manufacturer. totally not the install. I installed other pads after this and no squeal.

i've installed my hawk hps (the street pads) over the weekend and they are silent so i think you don't have the regular hps pads

[LovingBimmers]

These pads are 100% regular HPS.

could it possible that the pads were installed incorrectly?

Hollyyyy fuck, it really squeals like a bitch....

Mine do the same this, I've ran these before with no noise issues, my new set are just as loud. SO annoying. Bed correctly, brake perfect, just loud as shit.

I have the same problem on my Passat. I ordered the HPS and installed them the same way the factory pads were installed. You can't screw it up because there is a wire on the pads that can only plug in one way. I bedded in the pads and they started squealing shortly after that. They only squeal after driving for a little bit when the brakes become hot. My rotors also took a turn for the worse. Brake dust has also become a very big problem. Wheel is covered within a week. Can't be HPS.

I have a set of Hawk Performance HPS Pads 181 on my BMW. I am experiencing similar squealing but not as loud. At low speeds, I can hear constant contact between the pads and the rotor that tells me they are touching even when my foot isn't even on the brake. I've had the calipers rebuilt, and just replaced the rotors and sanded the pads (they were glazed). All that is left for me to do is purchase new HPS brake pads all together. What was the the reasoning behind your squeals? TY

i have the same problem only during light braking.. its so annoying especially during traffic.

Is your check engine light on?

I have the same problem. I have installed over 10 sets of HPS without any problems. A couple months ago I bought a set of HPS rear and installed them. Not only do this particular set squealed, it also chewed up the rotors very noticeably compared to any other HPS I've seen.

I am suspecting that the HPS that I received actually contained the HP+. The appearance of the HP+ and HPS are the same.

Jesus Christ Almighty, that sounds bad
