Default Brake noise! Help
Hey there people,

I have a 05 Touring Z with 64k. Iv noticed this squealing noise coming from one of my brakes. I figured it has to be my pads. Any second opinion? If my pads are the problem, should i replace them with ENDLESS CCX pads or just stock pads? I want a little more stopping power without the ridiculous amount of brake dust.

Thanks people

no stock pads. too much dust.

get generic pads from Autozone/Oreilly/Carquest/AAP - a lot less dust, work fine for street

Stopping power is only as good as your tires. Autozone pads work great on the street

Don't know if the pad is the problem. Why not look at the pad?

That's weird, I thought those pads would be the cause of dust buildup.
