How low does the pad have to be, before the sign on the dash pops up.

I'm going to an autox tomorrow and no one in town has pads in stock for this car, so i'm hoping the pads i have on there now are allright.

Default Worn pads aren't the only cause of squealing, you know. BTW, is that a Civic or an IS300 in your sig
?

Default Only on of the inner front pads has a sensor.
You'll have to localize the noise, take the wheel off, and have a look to see what's going on. If all the brake pads look okay, I wouldn't be too concerned about a little noise from the brakes.

Default What you've done with the grille & bumper make it look like a Civic from that angle in your sig.
Please don't mess with your S4. 8^)

Sorry, man, no offense.

Has anyone tried that spray that goes on the back of brake pads to prevent squeaking?
