My brakes squeal so loud and so much. Will changing the brake pads fix this?

Change the pads and get a new hardware/shim kit. Mine is squealing because of a seized caliper

resurface the rotor as well

anyone used the hawk brake pads from custommaxima.com?

sounds like the squeeler bar on the break pads (also called wear bar, etc) Its a sign you need new pads.

if the pads not down to the wear bar, just put some caliper lube on metal parts of the pads that are touched by the caliper and bracket. just to state the obvious, don't lube the pads themselves just the metal backing

SXN

unlubbed pads is not as much of a squealing noise they kinda grind more

Yeah I bough the car they squeeled like *****es. So I replaced my brakes, hardware and all four rotors because they were warped and it fixed the problem. But don't be a dip**** like me and don't buy metalic brakes because your friend told you because they fade like *****es. I think I will have to buy some ceramic in couple of month and replace them again.

SXN

yea. more metal in the pad, heats up, and fades
