Yeah, hence the :-) in my post.
Hawk HP+ pads are a different animal though; pretty sure you are referring to the middle tier hawk.. that actually stop worse than most stock pads. why hawk still produces those pads I have no idea.
HP+ are not for the people that whine over brake dust. They squeal like pigs. true auto x pads. awesome pads. Wheels will be black in one day. But back on topic.. a few folks already said it. bedding stock pads in is key. They are noisy stop light to stop light but I don't care. I think brake noise is all relative
Sonax full effect wheel cleaner does a very good job emulsifying all that shit off the wheels before a good wash.
