How to stop Hawk HP+ Brake Squeal?


I have Hawk HP+ Pads, and DBA 4000 slotted rotors, all brand new. Ive used 3 different products on the back of the pads, and Ive used BG Stop Squeal for the pads themselves and I still can't get rid of the horrendous squealing...

Has anyone managed to quiet down these pads???


Additional Details:
I did the bedding process. I had HPS pads before, but they did not hold up on the track. I was hoping these would be the solution, but I cant stand the noise

Did you break them in? (bedding)

a quick review overlook says alot of people have noise with them. They are the 'aggressive street/light track' pads. so not really perfect for either application.

I've got the HPS and used the supplied grease. Haven't heard a thing since day one. Good luck.

Wagn8r is right, most people have this issue with high performance pads. This is due to material used in the pads, in most cases the only way to stop the squeal is downgrade to a consumer high performance pads.
