I'm aumeing that it's the fronts doing this. disc squeaks are made by the pads moving around in the caliper. there is some stuff out called "disc brake anit squeak" you aply it to the back of the pads, let it drie for a bit and put them back on. this should at least redues the squeaks some.

But what happens once u wear that part off? or do you soak em in the stuff or what?

You buy a bottle and read how to use it, and then you do what it says.

it goes on the BACK of the pad. not the front. so it won't wear off. ok?

Fireimp141 · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 07, 2004, 06:21:27 PM »

Oh, i get it

ill try some of that stuff

brainlessfool · « **Reply #8 on:** Oct 07, 2004, 06:28:56 PM »

If you do as it says on the bottle and it works, just come back here and hit the little box that says "give" by my avatar!

I sure will!

if that didnt work try to beval the edges of the pads and shoes the pads have like a plastic coating on them that squels like pad wear indacator
a grinder works good but dont breath and be gentiel as the grinder takes it off fast

For those heavy flow days

Fireimp141 · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 09:41:32 AM »

haha, but anyways i got mine from autozone for like 12 bucks a pair i think it was... pretty cheap. My brakes still squeek but thats just cause i still ahve the 4cyl calipers, not v6

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 10:49:09 AM »

MIKEY AND KYOTA NEEDS TO STEP OUT MY GRILL B! anyway sweet. didnt know i could get BRAKE PADS for 12 bones. fire why would your brakes squeek if u had 4cyl calipers? your rig is a 4 cyl?

Mike D · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 12:14:48 PM »

86 he said 12 bucks a pair so that like 24 bucks

and for those really irratable days

Fireimp141 · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 04:23:31 PM »

Because now i have larger tires, which is more mass rotating, which would mean i would have to have more stopping power. V6 have more weight to the engine and with more power u have to have better stopping, which is why they have larger calipers and pads

thats why!

brainlessfool · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 04:26:06 PM »

V-6 and 4 banger pads are the same. just the caliper is dif. butt don't see why it would squick with 4cly cals.

Fireimp141 · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 04:29:00 PM »

i dunno, ill prolly just end up getting new vented rotors and performance calipers and pads and stuff. Once i get my job ill have alot of this stuff underway, but im going WT style as of right now

brainlessfool · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 04:33:42 PM »

don't you have vented rotors now?

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 10:57:16 PM »

i wouldnt call it wt style. i would call it normal, that me though and what do i know

Fireimp141 · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 09, 2004, 11:58:02 PM »

Yah, you know what i mean, the ones with the slots on them in the surface where tha pads hit
