brakes rotors, calppers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i let a girl drive my car. she did not take the energency brake off before she drove it. it sounded like i was dragging a muffler behind my car. i took the front two rotors off, had them turned. and replaced the brakes. i also did the rear saturday. my front driver's side wheel is still grinding like crazy. i have no idea what it could be. i tested my brake fluid for moisture, which could be corrupting my caliper. my brake fluid was excellent. i just had the rotors done at firestone, but they don't want to fix them, instead they want to chage me another 400 dollars to do other work on my car. if anyone knows what i can do, please help!!! i don;t think anyone is taking me seriously because i am a girl, but if it counts for anything, i also replaced my starter by myself saturday!

quiet stops are better, but there really not performance pads, how much are you willing to spend? if you spend a little more you should get the hawks. I think ebc greenstuff is better than the quiet stop as well but a little more less

Argue with a manager until they agree to finish the job that you paid them to do.

I just ordered some Axxis Ultimates so hopefully they turn out to be good pads. If I went with Raybestos, I would go with the quietstops.

I also just got the front Axxis ultimate pads on the group deal, along with new front brembo blank rotors. Payed $130 or something shipped for the front pads and rotors. So what im trying to say is if money is an issue id go with that. More info in the group deal section. But if not i would go with the quietstops as well.
By the way changing brakes and rotors is a pretty simple job... even im going to do my own, and i dont own any real tools.

Udienow - Please let me know what you think of your combo once you get them installed. I am probably going to go with the same combo and would like your opinion.

Thanks!
