yesterday I decided it was time to install the Hawk brake pads that have been sitting here for about a month. That required a new rotor too. I wanted to to swap both rotors, but there was only a very small groove in the right side, so I left it to save myself $50.
Everything went as expected, but on the test drive the right side was a little noisy. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. it was about as bad as the EBC brakes i ahve on my race car, not bad at all, still very bearable. I went back to the shop to clean up, I was there about an hour. I left to go home and it was REALLY noisy. Like the garbage truck that comes through the neighborhood at 2 am, or the dump truck right nest to you at every light noisy. Completely unacceptable.
I think it's only coming from the right side, there might be some from the left too. It's hard to tell.
I've used hawk pads before on my street vehicles and never had this problem. I chose them because they are very quiet and increase stopping force. Can anyone help my fix it? I don't know what to do aside from buying new pads.
