Default Hawk hps plus

Two weeks ago i put in a set of Hawk hps plus pads on my 2007 gt, performance is significantly better than stock, but they squeel like crazy and it's very annoying and they put out a lot of dust had them on my 2001 GT and no problem ,

Anybody else had this problem?

Do you have the HPS pads or the HP+ pads? My HPS pads didnt squeek but did dust a ton. Did you put the anti-squeal on the outside of the pads?

I have the HPS pads on mine, no squeaking and not much dust either really. Good stopping power too!

I've ran the HPS and HP+'s.
Both dusted like crazy. The HPS would squeak once in a while, mostly when cold out. HP+ I don't recommend for normal street driving as they dust alot more, and squeal alot more.

You can see the brake dust on the wheels in my sig, but of course thats after many laps around a road course. 1 day the HP+ were 50% worn on the front.

For daily driving I run Napa's ADO pads. Newer pad to the market and I love them. Special pad for inboard and outboard. Very quiet, good stopping power, and hardly any dust to speak of.
Then swap pads for track days.

Hard to say because I haven't been stock in a long time, as far as stainless steel lines, fluid, pads, rotors. But its just as good if not better. Zero complaints. I thought stock wasn't all that bad really.
