Hawk HPS and Squealing
I just had Hawk HPS put on my Z to replace my old pads that were wearing out. The front rotors had to be replaced, but the rears where fine.
I did the recommended Hawk break in, but now I have some issues. After a hard stop, I get a HORRID squealing from the right front. It is only that wheel as well. It then continues for awhile (especially when I am traveling strait -- it makes less noise when turning) but eventually goes away, provided I don't have to make any hard stops.
Ideas? I searched, and the search function on my350z.com is pretty much worthless.
Also, I did not do it myself.

i replaced my fronts last week with ceremic pads(inexpensive canadian made Satisfied brand) ordered from tire rack, no squeals and much less dust than oem pads..... more or less the same braking power as oem.
