HPS pads with slotted rotors.

No problems here, you must have put them in wrong.

hps pads for as long as I can remember, only had brake squeal when they were getting worn. Did you bed the pads correctly?

They were installed correctly. I did it with a buddy of mine who has done Mustang brakes more times than he can probably count. I never had any squealing problems for the first month or so. Also, when the car is cold, the brakes don't really squeal at all...only after driving around for a while and getting them hot

Are you using stock or aftermarket rotors? That could make a difference.

I have these pads but only on the rear with no problems. Using drilled/slotted rotors.

I would take them out and put them in again, maybe you did something wrong the first time. Not like it is a PITA to do brake pads...
