I just changed my pads and rotors not too long ago and the squeaking is worse then when I had worn brakes. The squeaking sounds exactly like your situation and is very embarassing. I heard someone mention about ceramic brakes which cause almost no brake dust and no squeaking I think. Also someone mentioned a product to me that you spray on your rotors and it minimizes squeaking. Anyone know who makes something like that?

Dude just buy a can of break cleaner and spray it in there. My brakes squealed a lot and this cleared it all up. Besides, if it doesn't work the can is only like 2 bucks. You got nothing to lose but that damn squealing! :D Goodluck!<b>Red 1999 Firebird M5</b><br />Whisper Lid,Borla Catback,K&N,Dual Friction Center Force Clutch,Hurst Shifter w/Lou\'s Short Stick,!FRA,Suncoast Ramair hood,160 Thermo,!maf,Chrome ZO6 Wheels, Painted Calipers, CIA Headers, Taylor Wires, NGK Spark Plugs, 3\" Catco, Jet Chip Stage II, BMR STB, LCA, PHR, SFC, Fan Switch, FTRA<br /><b>Old Dyno Numbers: 183 RWHP, 217 RWTRQ</b><br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/redsixer\" target=\"_blank\">http://community.webshots.com/user/redsixer</a>Comment

remove caliper and pads and clean all metal surfaces. brake cleaner will work fine. buy some sil-glyde from NAPA (silicone brake lubricant) and apply to the back of your pads (NOT the friction surface, the other side...) and on all metal-to-metal contact areas, including the caliper slides. you may sand friction surface of the pad to remove any glazing. if you resurface your rotors, make sure you thoroughly wash them in soapy water to remove metal particles so they wont contaminate your brake pads. if the rotor is scored or anything i would recommend resurfacing, as this may create noise and abnormal pad wear.
ceramic pads do well to eliminate noise as well. but they're expensive.ASE Master, L1, X1, C1. Instructor in automotive systems. 99 3800 4L60E with a few mods and a greatful dead sticker on the back window.Comment
