Hi everyone, its my first post here after googling around for the past days and hope you can help me with an issue I've been trying to figure out.

I recently had a set of slotted Brembos rotors and Hawk HPS pads installed on my Z, and I've since been running into noise and squeaking during low braking right off the bat. Being that the pads were new, I bedded them properly as advised by Hawk. Brake quiet grease/lube was applied as well to the back of the pads.

Despite the bed-in and all, the brake noise is still intermittently there and its getting really, really annoying. Its sounds like I've just run over a cat or something everytime I gradually apply the brakes. Sounds even worse in reverse....geez.

A little noise every now and then for aftermarket parts I dont mind, but this is just totally unacceptable. Majority of other 350z owners with Hawk HPS pads and Brembos dont appear to be seeing this noise.

Any suggestions or similar experiences you've run into with Brembos?
