AWWW... noise maker!

Has anyone gotten the noise that lets you know you need new brakes?? Apparently it is put into the brakes to warn the driver when new brakes are neccessary... it SUCKS though. When I back up it sounds like a baby screaming. People used to turn their heads to look at my whip, now they turn wondering where the hell that sound is coming from...

I wouldn't recommend removing or bending the little metal sensor thing on the pad, you might wear the pad down all the way to the damn metal base! (happened to me once, not on my 2k2 though) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Besides its a safety feature so you know its time to change out the pads, just take the time to change them and be safe.... Peace!

I think you should be able to change the pads and that should do it

Yep yep, it's this little metal tab that's on the pad. It's time to change your pads. I have a set of stock pads for sale that I took off when I put on my AEM/Nissin pads. They have 85% left on them. If you want, then I could help you install them for free. Let me know... PM would be best.
