I put these new Hawk HP (NOT the plus) pads on my 2000 GT... stock calipers and rotors. The rotors were in great shape, no need to turn them... but I did go over them with emery cloth like the Hawk instructions say. I even put anti squeak on the pads... I broke them in as per the instructions also. At the same time I added braided steel brake lines. The car stops great now! HOWEVER, it squeaks ALOT! I have to hide my head when I come to stop lights... its so embarassing. My friend who drives Skyline's and stuff with racing pads says don't worry about it, all of thier pads always squeek too... Does anyone else have/had this problem with these pads? If so, did it go away after the pads broke in, or is there anything else I should do to get rid of this? Its a bad squeak, like someone raking a nail down some sheet metal or something... usually with light/med braking, hard braking makes no noise...
its so embarrasing...
thanks,
