I picked up ECS slotted and drilled rotors for 189 and akebono brake pads. Switching out this weekend more than likely.

Brake job went well. The first wheel took a minute but then I knew how to do the other. I went with drilled slotted ecs rotors and akebono pads. No squeal for me now. I detailed the car that afternoon too and drove it an hr and a half back to lex and no signidivant brake dust. I'm pleased to say the least. Pedal feel is just a bit less but I'm actually used to it by now.

I'm curious about this under warranty. I get squeaking every once and a while just before stopping. It doesn't sound like a high pitched squeal that I've heard in other cars, but more of a...like a clarinet or something. The service rep was a real crank about letting me have any info on this TSB at all, but it would be nice to have this reproduced. Maybe I could try and video tape it as it doesn't happen all the time.

Do they have a standard test or is it just a physical have to hear it happen test for replacing brakes?

The comparison to the sound of a clarinet was brilliant. It's also why it's been throwing me off when I have a hard time calling it a squeal.

Did you ever figure out what the problem was?
