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

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
