[s-cars] My Hawk HPS Pads for my 993 Big Reds Squeal like crazy at low sp...

As I posted to the AW list, try the textars, they don't squeal.  It's
certainly possible you have a problem with the wheel bearing, the hub is bent, and/or
the calipers are slightly off center, but I doubt it.  IME with aftermarket
pads, the more agressive ones squeal.  I ran a customer's RS4 compound Hawks
while I waited for a shipment of stockers.  Squeal?  like a pig, ALWAYS on the
street, you couldn't get them hot enough.

Don't be upset, Porsche doesn't allow their customers to be.  Just get a
better street pad, and save these for the track.  It takes 20 minutes to swap them
(read: longer to take off and remount the wheels.

HTH (again)

Hey all I just put on my ECS Stage 2 Kit. I have Porsche dampeners on
the back of the pads and have greased the carriers as per ECS (Tom's)
request. They still squeal at low speed braking on medium or light pedal
pressure. I'm really upset about this. its so annoying and loud. Anyone
have any ideas? I hope this turns into a big debate, because I found
little bits and pieces in the archives. Also Elijah (Green urS4), I met
you at GingerMan, I was the guy in the Silver S6 with 18" wheels.  What
do you run? Cause yours didn't squeal at all. By the way my pads don't
squeal when cold.
