I've NO experience with the Hawk HPS pads (tho I'm about to).

That said, applying ≈ 2-3mm layer of RTV to the back of brake pads prior to installation on various vehicles has resulted in NO, ZERO, NADDA squeal on any vehicle I've installed pads on for over a couple decades.

(It was a set of pads I bought years ago that came with a tube of RTV and directions as to its application to prevent squeal. It worked, and so became my personal SOP.)
