I need some help guys I'm about to loose my mind.

I'm getting a squeak, sounds like it's coming from the front end. Only happens when I lightly apply the brakes, could it have something to do with me being lowered or do you think it's something simpler? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

it could be ur springs on ur struts...i applied a little layer of silicone lubricant or something like that on the top and bottom of the spring...

Honestly I remember it doing this some before the drop, it just seems to have gotten worse

Squeak on the front end when you lightly apply the brake - sounds like brake squeal (you can search on it, potential cures: new pads, new rotors, good cleaning, anti-squeal from auto parts store, etc).

I felt really stupid when I thought about this earlier Argonaut, just thought I'd get more life out of these pads, guess i'm to aggressive a driver

Can anyone recommend some quality pads? I was thinking about some Hawks, are there any actual "low brake dust" pads?

Norm Peterson

Hawk HPS pads are a pretty good pad for street use and most auto-X. I've got them on a couple of my other cars, and don't notice particularly more dusting than with OE pads.

I haven't tried any ceramic formulations yet - mostly because low noise and dusting appears to have been given slightly higher priority and stopping power slightly less than with the HPS pads.
