Default Brake Tech question!!

I got a 98 Integra RS with new front rotors, Hawk HPS pads(front), stock rear pads and MOTUL 5.1 fluid

Lately I notice that at low speeds when I brake i'm hearing my brakes screech I guess. What could be wrong??

I checked the rear pads and I got enough pad left. Front pads got tons left too...

Hmmm....any ideas?
Thanks

As they create dust (wear) they will squeak.

Damn your fast!! And thanks for all the answers.....

Since i'm posting, will adding the same pads in the rear(Hawk HPS) help? Some people say the rear pads don't do much, is that true?

yea... to an extent. Its mainly about the bias of the front and rear.

I make sure I use the same all around, that fits my style best... but some people have sucess keeping the rear stock..

But that wont fix the squeak

I wouldn't bother with adding Hawk Pads to the rear. You'll find that with the money that you have spent, you won't get anywhere near the performance improvment that you got when you put the front Hawk Pads on. As you know, the Pads are dusty, and why bother cleaning what won't really help you?
