Looking for brakes, local if possible

MacR6 · 02-01-2012, 03:24 PM

Hey all, I'm looking for rotors and pads local if anyone knows where I can pick up front and rear.

I am not going with OE because of the squealing issue. I don't track my car, it's my DD so looking for something like zimmermans right now.

Anyone have any suggestions, preferably something doesn't do that horrendous squealing but still gives that great breaking feel to a DD that the OEMs do?

zeckhausen.com has plenty of options

whatever you decide to get, make sure you properly bed in the brakes and add some anti-squeal to the pad. actually bedding the brakes is mandatory, anti-squeal is not.

if your still under warranty, complain about the squeal to your dealer.

Out of warranty. 10-4 on the bedding in. I just did my explorer brakes today. Definitely put anti squeal on there as well.

Thanks for the help.
