Someone Please Help me with new Powerstop Brakes
Alright guys!! I'm very frustrated and pissed off about my new Powerstop Z23 Brakes and slotted/drilled rotors.
I get them installed and two days later my front driver side brakes are squealing like they are dying when I come to a stop, thought I needed to drive and break them in but I drove for a month and no help. I called Powerstop and they said the pads were bad, so they sent me a new pair and got them installed. Two days later they are squealing just as bad. I have no idea what could be wrong! can someone please help? |

The Brembos are know to make noise. You should search the brake section for Brembo noisy brakes.

Did you install the pads yourself?

Hmm...only other thing I could think of is that they were not bedded in properly. Either that or the brake guy did a bad job.

How did they do a bad job? They only go in one way. There's a spray or brush on anti squeal I put on the back of my pads. Works like a charm.

That could be a possibility as well, I've never heard of the company OP mentioned, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are. Have you thought of trying a different brake pad?

I wouldn't doubt people's ability to screw something up, even the simplest of tasks.

I would have them replace everything, if it keeps it up. I initially thought the rotors and pads were rotating with the tire when I saw the pictures lol. Best of luck!
