I didnt drive with my e brake on, i never have. The night before my friend drove my car home because i had been drinking. He said he didnt drive with it on and i remember me pulling the E Brake for him.

I took it by a shop today and they told me the calipers are fine.

Honestly, it's because you drive it too hard.

I know, because I did the same thing, and killed mine at 35k.

Maybe you should replace your pads before they get down to the metal.....just a thought.

Brakes do wear out

With the advice you just said, I would never listen to you. LOL@ let the new pads wear the grooves smooth...Nice one.

They will squeek, pulsate, chatter and make any other damn noise as well being those rotors are bad. Not to mention cause uneven wear on the new pads. Personally I would get new ones. Not sure if they are composite, but you can't turn the composite rotors w/o having issues later on. Better to fork over for some new ones so you don't have issues down the road.

Well did the pads you bought come with that anti-squeek goo or were they designed not to make any noise?

Cause if you used the anti-squeek goo that your sposed to smear on the pads then it shouldn't squeek at all.

Anti squeek goes behind the pads....to take up space and dampen any noise from stuff vibrating.


Those rotors gotta be replaced, they been ground down too much by the RIVETS in the brake pads....just an idea...when you push the brake pedal and hear metal on metal grinding, it's time for you to replace your pads AND your rotors, cause they are fucked
