Default brake pad noise - please help

I have Hawk HPS pads on now with stock rotors and they sqeek louder than a train trying to brake even after I wash the car. I had the edges of the pads cut and sanded, but the mechanic said thats not gunna help the noise much b/c the dust is getting stuck in the center grove. He recommended that i get drilled rotors since i got a performance pad. It is the Pads? or should I get new rotors ? Which will make that loud squeeking noise go away.

Thank you
Douglas lee

Default I sprayed a ton of anti-squeel paint on mine...

no squeeling yet... now to get the rear pads on... cause they are howling.


Try bedding in your pads... do 10 or so 60 to 0 stops w/out going into ABS. It should get most of the air out and force the pad to conform.
