Default Squealing brakes?

My brake pads were squealing so i went ahead and replaced them with new ones. (the Pro Hawks) Which i had before and they were real good. The problem is after replacing the pads the squealing continues not has bad maybe but bad enough.... It only happens when i press on the brake pedal about half way in.... Any ideas?

Well I don't think it has to be perfect... just make sure you give them time to cool between each cycle. I would try it again just to make sure.

A few soft brakings, a few medium ones, then a few hard ones... letting them cool before each one. Try not to ever get to a complete stop and don't hold the brake down if you do have to stop.

I wouldn't recommend the squeal compound until you're sure the bedding in procedure doesn't work.

I'm wondering why you wouldn't recommend it? I'm not trying to be argumentative but perhaps you know something that I don't.

It's not that I know anything special... but I have the same brake pads and they squealed until I bed them in properly. I'm not sure the best method of putting on the squeal stop... but I would think it involves taking off the tire and brake pads again. So basically... out of laziness, I would try bedding them in again.
