Does anyone have experience of changing from Wilwood BP10 to say Hawk HPS?

As I've written before, I have the big Sierras, not Wilwood. But one of the reasons I went with the Hawk pads I referenced was that my existing "soft" Sierra racing pads sounded like a garbage truck at certain times, usually when I was easing down a hill or coming to a stoplight. A fellow ERA owner told me that not only did the Hawks increase non-racing stopping power, but that they eliminated the squeal and groan. I can truthfully say that, since I installed the Hawks, I have not heard a single squeal or groan from them. And, I did not use the shims nor did I use any anti-squeal goo. I just pulled out the old pads and stuffed in the new ones.
