i get a really loud screach from my brakes when light braking. it sounds like its coming from all 4.. im pretty sure my pads are trashed as i have 51k miles on em without changing em... i also get an even louder screch when i reverse and use the brakes.. and i even get a light screach when i make slow light turns.. so you think its just pads are is my whole brake system fuxored?

 

well when you change pads you need to atleast cut/resurface ur current rotors but i say its better to reaplce rotors and pads at the same time

shiet... how much is all this gonna cost me? all new discs and pads?

 

get your pads from Dave B OEM (everyone with aftermarket ones complain alot about loud grins and squeeks so i say go with OEM)

and get some Brembo blanks rotors....unless you want to go with powerslot or drilled

ok, where do i get the rotors at and what size do i need? how much is all this stuff? where or how do i install it?

 

OEM pads(i think $50/pair) from Dave B at southpoint nissan in texas awesome guy.....u will have no problems with him ...go to him with all ur OEM needs his number is
1-888-254-6060

Brembo Blanks...im nto sure yet i jsut posted a thread asking where i can get these but i think they are like 40 bucks a piece

installation is easy if uve done mechanic work before

nice... maybe i will do it myself.. its been awhile since i have gotten my hands dirty playing with the max..

its not too late to do it ....especially when u need new brakes haha....but yeah idk ur experience but the brake install is pretty easy as soon as i get my rotors i will be doing it myself

you doing just the front or all 4? is it really nessesary to change the rear rotors too?

 

im just doing the front because my rears are fine....but you said hte noise sounds liek its coming from all fours...so i assumed you needed all 4...depends on the condiiton

-J

 

if u need rotors and pads hit up Automax_95
he sell brembo rotors
1 pair is like 100 bucks andu can get them however style u want.
blanks are 44 each
and pads go with stock or Raybestos or MM

 

My rears are also making the shrieking sound. The owner's manual says that this is the indicator sound that the pads are low. The sound does not necessarily mean that the pad is down to the metal. You may not even need new rotors.

 

do u get the screech when you reverse too?

 

this may be the cause the noise : the warning tap on the brake pad is touching the rotor.

 

Yes, which makes sense. Thanks to maxi-overdose for the pic!
