[QUOTE="saunupe1911, post: 12995625, member: 136936"] I wanted to give an update on my StopTechs and rear Hawk HPS pads after about a month of usage. I previously stated that they were squeaking. Then it rained one day it was even worse. Plus I couldn't stand the clamping noise on the front during complete stops. I was thinking this isn't normal unless it's just the nature of these strong pads. Well, I told myself I'm going to do StopTech's recommended bed-in procedure exactly how they described, but I'm like damn where in the hell will I find a backroad that's long enough with no traffic and cops around!!! Welp, I found one in my neighborhood and just prayed I wouldn't wake the neighbors at 2 AM lol. Here's StopTechs procedure: Man these started cooking after that 5th stop just as described and the whole system did an entire 360. No more squeaking or clamping noise. Then the Stang just kept stopping and stopping after the second set of stops. I knew then it was time to go home. Pedal feel was even firmer it just kept stopping. I then found another long side street right before I got back home just to make sure it wasn't fluke. No squeak, no vibration, no shuttering, and stopping on a dime. This morning's commute had no squeaks either. I also have less dust. So guys make sure you have bedded in the brake pad to manufacturer specs because they all are different. Grease may cure some squeaks, things will never perform as intended without a proper bed-in. Normal street driving will NOT heat strong street/track pads up. And just because you have 500 miles on them doesn't mean they are embedded either. [/QUOTE]
