Squeaking Brakes...
 

Okay... so my brakes have been squeaking since ive owned the car (1 year) and when i got my tires changed, the guy said the breaks look great, but even on the drive home, they still sqeaked. Last weekend, i went into my dads shop to blow out the break-dust... thinking thats like the only thing that it could be. BUT THEY STILL SQUEAK! We looked at the break pads and they arent even half way worn so... any suggestions? Oh, i drive a MY98 Impreza 2.5 RS. Thanks guys

What pads and rotors are you using?

Do you have all the cheesy factoy backing plates on them, and the funky grease that goes with them? This stuff acts as harmonic dampers to the pads.

Cheap pads seldom squeak. Good pads often squeak. It is the nature of the beast. There are methods to mitiagte it, but never guarentees.

Tells us what you have if you have the brand and model pad, the better. Which Car?

Both rotors and brakes are stock... i dont even know. Fu**in' kids these days.. :lol: :lol: Its MY 98 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS

That's as good a reason as any to replace them. :) For basic driving duties I'd recommend stock rotors and Axis Ultimates (if you don't mind the dusting).

Go look and see if the backing plate cover dealies are there... If you don't knwo what the hell I'm talking about, come to the meet thursday, and we will point them out...

Alright... i'll try hard to get there thursday :D
