my cursed rear brakes
my cursed rear brakes
so my rear brakes suck, as do many other g's. i got them turned a while back which held it over for a few months. now, i finally had to brake down and get new rotors. i went with some drt crossdrilled and slotted with a set of project mu pads. hopefully this will take care of this. i'm tired of my brakes sounding like a train stopping.
Hmmm...I never heard of rear brakes on these cars going out much less warping rotors. The rear brakes only consistute about 30% of your braking power. My brakes are squealing badly, but it's the fronts and they still have 30% life left. The problem is the shims and brake hardware. They're covered in brake dust and need a hefty reapplication of shim grease on the pad backing and shim.

rears did not need service, but they squeal the first time you put it in reverse only..in the morning out of the garage. the rest of the day they are fine.
