Default Hawk HPS Brake Pads ARE SQueeking, any other ALTERNATIVES?

Hello all, I have installed Hawk HPS brake pads, I have about 10,000 miles on them and I do not track my car, just daily driving,,,,,for the last 1000 miles or so, it has been squeeking like crazy? are they suppose to be like that or are they almost worn (need replacement?). I use the car as a daily driver but i'm never really that hard on the brakes.......


Are there any Alternatives? I love the Hawks HPS Pad b/c mainly there are no dust build up.....any other pads like this, and also, list pads that are not hard on the rotors also......thanks much....

same problem here. I have it for about 8000K and they start to made noise now. HOWEVER, the dust is 85% less than OEM.
