So I did powerslots front and rear and hawk ceramics all around last weekend. The hawks came with some red lube and the instructions say to lube the pins and backs of the pads. On the rears I did not open up the caliper and did not use any lube on the pads or pins. On the fronts I did open up the calipers and I lubed the back of the pad where the pistons meet the pads, but not the outer pad and I also lubed the pins. I did not lube the hardware and I did not clean the pins original lubricant.
Now I'm getting this squeaky/rubbing sound at low speed stops and starts that is worse before I make a few stops. I believe it just to be the front. The brakes however seem to stop great, the only concern I might have is that it seems to be a little inconsistent and "catchy".
Any thoughts? what lube did you use and where? the internet tells many stories of not lubing at all, or using different lubes in different spots.
I believe this just to be annoying and not a safety issue.
