I just fitted some new Hawk Racing pads to my calipers and they squeal loudly when I slow and approach stop - they are ok at speed. I have not been braking hard as I am bedding them in slowly. I have taken them out and put the orange anti squeal paste between the shims and the pads, I have had them in for a week and I have done 260k's on them so far. I have followed the bedding in procedure as laid out on Hawks own website, yet my lovely new brakes continue to make teeth grating +100db squeals when I slow down.

What I want to know is - will this eventually go away, are there any issues specific to stock rotors and Hawk pads that may cause this, is there anything I should/can do.

My discs have been checked out and are fine with no wear, lines, blue, or marks. I am in MC motosport next Sunday and I want to get it sorted by then or I might have to put the original pads back in so as not to kill the hi frequency part of everyones hearing. Besides the squeal they are bloody nice pads.

Thanks :D
