Brake Replacements
Hey everyone,
I have the squeakiest brakes I’ve ever heard and they’ve been driving me crazy the last month or so. I’ve been told by mechanics to go OEM if I want the squeak gone but 1 I’m not even sure if the squeak is only the brakes I suspect the suspension arms because it squeaks faintly when I’m not applying the brakes as well and 2 I don’t want to spend over a thousand on rotors just to have the squeak go away and pads from mercedes so I was wondering if someone out there had replaced their rotors aftermarket and had no noise after and didn’t spend over a thousand on them. I’ve seen kits like the one FCP Euro offers and I’m thinking of going with them. If anyone could help that would be awesome.

In your video, did that screeching sound appear as you were braking?
to keep costs low, have your mechanic check the rotor for straightness first (it depends on how long you had your car/rotors, and mileage).... and perhaps switch over to aftermarket ceramic brakes. I personally use Powerstop brake pads, they are not expensive, have significantly lesser dust and are quiet when braking compared to the original pads.
