I am sooo sick of my front disk breaks squealing! I have paid brake masters over 1500 in the last year to fix this problem and it comes back after a month. Im soo tired of it! When the rotors get warmed up after a few stop lights they get VERY loud, so loud i have people blocks down the street looking at my car. I just plain sick of this! I am thinking of getting 1000 grit sandpaper and just rubbing the hell out of the rotors to take off any glaze. Will this work?

You may be thinking 1500! holy cow! and yes its true, and everytime brake masters resurfaces the rotors and gives me new brake pads and this lasts at MOST for 2 months. I want to go burn down the place and get that 1500 back. BTW I have the unlimited brake pad thing and it hasnt been usefull.

Get some quality pads for one. That lifetime crap is just that. Try some performance carbon metallic ones, and maybe talking off the dust covers.

Simple fix. My Talon had the same problem until I installed some anti-squeal shims. Problem went away immediately and has never come back.

I think the shim kit (includes the compound to mate the shims to the pads) was something like $35.00 US. Took about 30 mins for each side.

Maybe an option?

definetly pull the brakes apart and make sure the anti-squeal shims are in, use the anti-squeal glue stuff and glue em to the pad and to the caliper as well. thats how I always glue em and ive never had squeal

Oh yeah, that too. I always forget about that stuff. :wink: You can't go wrong with some better pads too. Our cars need alot of help in the stopping dept.

If all else fails I could send you an entire hub/knuckle assembly with the rotor and caliper with pads, that came off a car that was driven in by a customer.
I would also recomend going with the Nippondenso ceramic pads, they have the anti squeel pads already glued to the backing and those pads last along time with little brake dust.
You could even go with a set of sloted or drilled turbo rotors, and calipers
