I had this issue with Hawk HPS, and had to tap on the brakes in heavy rain often. Have EBC Red now, they don't do this but they also don't stop the car well period.

Based on the above I returned the pads to Tire Rack and installed Redstuffs.

My Rabbit truck has 11.3 GTI rotors and calipers with EBC pads and still they fit under 15 inch wheels. And oh yea, it stops great.

I have EBC Red Stuff pads on all of my other cars, and they have been a very good choice. excellent stopping power & fade resistance, great pedal feel, no noise, and very low dust.

Used the BC green on my Jetta with cross drilled rotors...it stopped very nice and bust was low.
So far I like the EBC pads the best.
lovin' my EBC reds. Otherwise I just put quietstop ceramics on my wifes CTS and they are def. better than stock and no dust problems either.
