I now have exceedingly squeaky brakes coming to a stop at low speeds ESPECIALLY when I have the wheel turned. Having done my research, brembos seem to squeal naturally... or do they? Some said yes, some said no, some said hawk pads squeal, some said they didn't, some said grease the pistons; regardless I would like to know if anyone is experiencing this annoying squeal and if there is a solution. Thanks!

I believe it is the braking compound. At a certain temperature these brakes are made to function the best and if it's not at it's operating temperature then it will squeal no matter what you do. HP Plus have optimal operating temp range from 300-600F. I have the stop tech pads and they never squeal.
I remember when I was at an autocross event, everyone was pointing fingers at some person for having excessively squealing brakes. At the end of the day they came to the conclusion he was using the wrong brake pads for his application which was autocross. Basically the brakes weren't getting in the optimal temperature range, thus it will squeal.
