Message	I am currently using Hawk HPS pads with my Skyline R32 front calipers / rotors. While they are probably the best pads I've ever had for high speed braking, they squeal all the time (stopping at toll booths, garages, etc) and are a bit grabby at slow stops (which I have read may be due to the compound). Stock Nissan pads were also very loud. But I can't find anything wrong w/ my installation of the calipers/rotors/pads/lines. I'm going to take the pads out this week and regrease everything w/ some anti-sqeal. I just want good braking with NO NOISE! So what are you guys using and what's your impression? (If you have any other advice re: the squealing, please post too!). Thanks!
