Did you bedded them correctly?
 
do they have anti seize on the back of the pad? that helps keep the noise down...

If they are pads made to work at high temperatures like racing pads, that could be your squeaking problem. A race pad or a lower quality street/race pad will make noise and not grab well at low temperatures.
 
yes im going to change the pads to see if theres any diffrence????

whats the best 1s to buy????
 
Have you ever experienced brake fade due to overheating the pads on the street? If not, OEM pads are fine, as at street temps they will stop very quickly, and not have much dust or noise. If you have experienced brake fade on the street, Hawk HP Plus is my recommendation. I just ordered a set, have yet to try them but have not heard anything bad about them. They are a medium duty track pad that can be used on the street.
 
These HP plus pads screech like angry seagulls when hot, at slow speeds (and that's with the anti-squeal grease from honda):angry2: Otherwise performance is great.
I'll try and get some compatible backing plates to see if they help the squeaking.
 
The squeaking is to show off that you have performance
brake for the track :D

I do run HP +, and I have apply the grease from Hawk that comes
with the pads. I have very little noise on gentle slow speed braking.

I had non of that before my last time attack.

I'm thinking of going with the blue and swap them before
track day.

Next years, BIG brake kit... too much fading.
