Hey guys i just installed a set of front Hawk HPS Metallic Pads on my 06 coupe, freshly installed and it already started to squeek on situations like when breaking slowly in local right before my car stops it squeeks and when im on a downhill and im slowly releasing brake pedal to move up it also squeeks, is that normal for These pads?

Did you make sure to bed the pads in correctly? Failure to do this on any pad can be a cause of pad noise.

Oem select quiet pad materials and rotors to avoid customer complaints.

Then wimps complain about wear and dust...........oem can never win.

Owners who redesign their brake system must live with consequences.
