I recently changed my brake pads and decided to go with hawk HP Plus brake pads but I can’t seam to get them to stop squeaking, and suggestions?

I was also wondering if it’s normal to have high amount of dust?

did you have your rotors machined while doing the swap...if not they're going to squeal and wear the rotor abnormally...and yes Hawk pads have a lot higher amount of brake dust....

I'd get the rotors turned 1st though

HP plus pads are racing pads and are not really designed to be used on daily drivers unless you like squeaky brakes and lots of dust. Hawk HPS is their daily driver performance pad.

exactly. You xan use a little anti squeal gel, but, they are bound to make noise. But noise is ok, if you want to stop better.
