Yeah I have the SAME setup, x-drilled slotted brembos and Hawk pads. Mine squeel... they suck. It just depends on the day, sometimes they do sometimes they don't. Every week when I wash the car I spray them down with break cleaner. I think its the pads, I am not going to go with performance pads next time.

Yeah i dont know about hawks... But i always go with a softer pad to prevent squeelage... If they wear down faster and give more brake dust on the rims thats ok cuz i like to wash my car often, and pads are cheap.

You should have gone with the Mintex red box brake pads. I've had them for 12k miles and they are WELL worth it.

I heard the PBR ceramics don't squeel much or have that annoying break dust problem. Don't know though I havent put em on yet.

pbr ceramics here

low dust, and there is some squeak, but any autoparts store sells "anti squeak goop" which you put in-between the pad and the cylander which is supposed to help alot...
