Does this sound good? *Brake Pad + Rotor*
Brembo blanks for the front with Hawk Street Pads.
My car has this weird metal sound coming from the front--I believe passenger side. I am guessing it is the rotors. I have never turned them or replaced the pads. I have 44k miles on the car with mixed driving. They may be warped as well since I get a judder when stopping from 70mph-->20mph. Instead of resurfacing them, I will just replace them. If it matters, I don't autox with this car but I do on occassions do drive a little over the limit?
Thanks in advance! (oh i did search using google site:forums.maxima.org) but could not find the info I needed
)
Is there a how-to in the faq? I looked but could not find it. If there is, just point me in the direction and I'll look agian.
Once again, thanks in advance!

I never cut rotors, I always just replace them.
Hawk HPS pads are great, they will work good with any blank. BlackbirdVQ runs $20 Napa's and he loves them.
BTW: you did not search to hard, this has been hashed over 20 times the last few months.

Just found the how to as a sticky. Thanks guys. I'm going to do a little research on resurfacing them and weigh out the pros/cons.
I guess if it's a repost that is covered frequently, a moderator can lock this. :/

I have this same issue btw if I punish my brakes and heat them up rapidly.
