basically it's making those scratchy noise when i stop and when i am riding around in low speed. Exactly what the thread was describing.

if you have'nt allready, replace pads with ceramic ones. that made all the difference for me. also, brake flush will help alot if you have'nt done it yet. also, check your calipers to see if there sticking or if the boot is torn, if it is it will definitley squeal and wear out the roeders faster.

basically you have worn down pads, and if you keep riding around on them ,they will eventually get down to the piston , pretty pricey to replace
heres a link...

replace your pads thats the little pins in the brake telling you you need new pads. replace the rotor also if its woren down.

all good recommendations, make sure to check for cracks on roders as well as scoring. i would definitley go with the ceramics in front, lot less dust and quiet to the end.

I been getting the OEM ones, but any other good ones you guys suggest? and where can I order them from? I am getting sick of using the OEM ones, cause they aren't as good as they used to be.

oem , really??? damn, they're the worst ones i ever used, wore them out in like 6 months. get on e-bay and look for ceramic pads, sometimes you can get them as a set for a good price. i'm not sure what brand and/or seller to tell you, try and get one that offers a phone # if possible.

Can you take a pic of the pads? It would signify a need for brake pad change but I have been fooled before and it would be unnecessary if your pads are still good.

it possible that it maybe a caliper sticking,this is what happened to me. so im in the same delima as you.i want to go with pads that make the no noise and the least dust. i hear that the delux pads are quiet and make little dust. as for the rotors i want to upgrade to brembo xdrilled.
