Brake squeal.....

[Nitro187]

Does this mean my new brakes need changing already?

Is there some kind of spray I can use that will get rid of the squeal? or is it time to change my brake pads.... again?

Thanks

Since some pads squeal all the time, have you pulled a wheel to take a looksie?

Not yet... I've been working 14 hour days every day since it started happening... maybe I can just grind off the squeak indicator if thats what it is... or invest in some better brake pads.

Anyone have any experience with these:

PADS : Hawk HPS Performance Street Pads - 92-02 Viper Front - Wheels & Brakes - Roe Racing

Less brake dust = less work cleaning my tires.

I've used the Hawk pads on another vehicle of mine with great success. They've also been discussed here, and I don't recall too much bashing if any. They will likely be what I'll use when I go SRT on the brakes.

Great, thanks man.

Kidding, normal for factory brake pads. Do a search and you'll find a suitable replacement.

I installed the Hawk HPS pads you linked to on the front of my '98. I'm happy with them, though they do make a little noise during low speed braking. MUCH LESS dust than stockers!

Happy to hear that there's less dust, and as for the little noise, as long as it's not high pitched squealing... everyone looks, and at first they're like "WHAT IS THAT NOISE" to "woah!! a VIPER!!!"

it's funny watching their faces change.... but I'd rather not the squeal... i hope this fixes it... I already placed my order.
