brake issues....questions
hey guys when i got the car the brakes were squeeking after the car was driven for a while (IE brakes were warm) only squeeks when i come to a stop. and the noise level varies.
i put new pads in, some hawk HP+'s but i still dunno what the hell is going on, if any of you had this problem or can help me i'd greatly appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

Did you put anti-squeal on the back of the brakes? Also, are you using the metal shims on the back of the brake pads?

yes i put anti squeel on the back
what do you mean by "shims" i'm not familiar with that term.
on the back of the brake pads there is a metal plate that sticks to the pad is that a shim.
when i put anti squeel spray stuff, i just sprayed it on the metal plate, should i spray it between the plate and the pad also>?

The shims are the thin metal plates that go between the metal part of the brake pad and the caliper. There's two of 'em sandwiched together on the front pads, and one on the rear pads.
The anti-squeal goes where the shims go - between the pad and the caliper. I prefer the type that comes in a little tube that's a goo - you spread it on with your finger. The spray-on stuff is a little too thin.
