Brakes squeeking bad!
Ok... so my brakes have been squeeking bad for the last couple weeks so today I got off my assss and decided to take my wheel off and look at my pads....figured they might need replacing.
Well low and behold... there's like 3/4 inch of pad left! It's not even close to wearing out!
So I grabed a can of brake cleaner and sprayed down my rotor and pads, gave them a nice clean and ran my car again... still squeeks... what the hell should I do?
BTW... I'm running EBC Greenstuff, which... might I add... I HATE!

Rep Power: 425 EBC pads do suck, but thats not the reason. Its the high metallic content that makes them squeal. There's not much you can do. Try greasing the backs with anti-squeal, but you're just gonna need a quieter pad to really get rid of it.
