I have Hawk HPS w/993TT calipers and they never STOP
squealing. If driving spiritedly they don't, but for
around town driving they are exceedingly loud.

For those of you using anti-squeal goop, what are you
using and how much of a pain in the ass is it to put
on?

Alex,

Sorry for being late to this thread but vacation interrupted my email.

I have the same 993TT calipers and Hawk HPS'.  I have had a similar 
experience with brake squeal with those pads.  I tried the shims, 
traditional goop, and some stuff the you spray on the pad wear surface 
itself(it said it was guarenteed to work), but no joy.  I switched to 
Textar pads with some Nissan copper impregnated grease, which worked for 
about a month.

The Textars squealed on "medium" brake pressure after warming up, but no 
where near as ear piercing as the Hawks.

Went to a track event thinking I'd burn up those noisy Hawk HPS' and switch 
back to the Textars.  The Hawks stayed quite for a month after the track 
event (I guess beating on them really does work, for a while at least) and 
then started squealing again, so I switched to the Textars.  This time I 
used some "CRC Disc Brake Quiet", it comes in a 4 oz bottle and has worked 
for OVER a month now, knock on wood.

I try a method of bedding similar to what is posted on the StopTech site 
FWIW.

Good Luck, let me know if you find another solution.
