So I flushed out my brake fluid and replaced all brake pads with Hawk HP Plus. I also applied the recommended anti-squeak brake grease as well....However, whenever I come to a rolling stop, the brakes squel pretty loud!? Could it be the new pads?

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

 

Could be. Some sport / race compounds will squeal no matter how much grease you put on them, shims or not.

Once the pads have run a few hundred miles, you can bed them in by doing some hard stops and this might reduce the squeal.

Oftentimes you can simply do a few hard braking exercises to temporarily remove the squeal, too.

you might need to have your rotors cut...mine were squeaking a lot till i had them cut...then they were fine

 

You replaced your pads - but did not have your rotors turned??

Mine sqeeeeeeek bad sometimes too, and I tried all the anti-squeling compounds I could find. No luck.

I'm replacing all the pads and all the rotors.

 

The Hawk HP Plus is a high-performance HPDE type pad. As with all such pads, they dust a lot and squeal on the street since they're cold. You usually can't heat them sufficiently on the street to make that stop for the most part.

Get used to it, it's not going away.
