Noise on Hawk HPS?
Anyone have any input on how much noise Hawk HPS pads make? I've heard they've got decent bite with low dust, but haven't heard anything about how loud they are.

I have both HPS & HP Plus pads.
I ran HPS pads for about 2 months and no noise.
I put on HP Plus pads(front only on Porsche 996 non-turbo, and had terrible noise). I am experimenting by putting HPS pads as the outer pads and after the car got warmed up after 30-40 miles, the noise was back.
I have not yet decided to go back to all HPS pads yet.
I can tell you the HP Plus pads had incredible bite, much more than the HPS pads.
My S2 rears are HP Plus, but no noise from them.

HPS pads have very little bite till warm. I use HP+ for daily use, blue for the track
the +'s are a bit noisey and very dusty and eat rotors but man that bite is really nice...
PLus, they'll work at the track if required.

Same thing happened to me. Try some P21S gel wheel cleaner.
You're going to have to let it soak in and then scrape the dust cakes off. Major PITA, and your clearcoat will be ruined.
