After installing the front Hawk HPS brake pads I’ve noticed a squeak after the passenger side brakes start to warm up. I don’t have any squeak when the car starts up for the first 15 minutes or so. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hawk pads are known for squeeking.

Did you properly break them in by getting your speed up to 40 mph and forcefully apply the brakes continually to a stop 3 or 4 times?

Hawks bedding procedure is a little different. But, I concur. I have never seen a set of Hawks unless they were race pads, squeak unless the owner didn't properly bed in the pads.

Normal for the HPS pads to squeek, mine did 50% of the time, even after proper bedding.

I did follow the procedure on the box just like I did for the rear pads, only one side is sqeeking. I bought some cheapo sqeek stopper from autozone. Will see if that does anything. Maybe I got some crap on the rotor?
