Brakes
Ok so my stock ss brake pads are getting close to being worn out. I was originally planning on using hawk ceramic pads and getting the rotors turned. But I keep seeing posts about brake squeel.
What should I get/use. Also the caliper bolts that are torque to yield... should I replace those and where could I get these from Sent from my Eris using Tapatalk |

Im in the process of doing the same thing since my Powdercoated Calipers are on their way. I was leaning toward the HPS pads, racing brake fluid and the Pedders brake lines.

I got my Hawk Ceramics to stop sounding like a school bus with the following bedding (this is allot more severe than Hawk said to do) 65 to 20mph 10 times in a row and then drove highway speed for 20 minute cool down.
My front brakes had smoke coming off them when I was done. Now they are no worse than the OEM pads where but stop allot better. |

My Hawk ceramic pads work great and with no noise. I followed Hawk's bedding process, but I also used generous amounts of brake grease on any moving part like the back of the pads, and pins.
