Im still having squealing problems with my front brakes after numerous service bulletins and dealer visits. upon medium pressure, the brakes squeal horribly. i think i am going to try some new front pads to see if the noise remains. looking for recommendations for my AWD, dont really want to go OEM but could be easiest way to see if the noise is gone.

thoughts?

 

im having the same issue with semi-metallic pads, my last set were hawk ceramics with no issues

 

bump

i want to try some ceramics on the OEM rotors. thoughts?

 

I have had great success with Redstuff pads on all kinds of cars with oem and aftermarket rotors.

 

Hawk Ceramic pads are great. OE level braking, quiet and low dust.

 

Are most people in favor of ceramic over metallic?

All my research is leading back to Hawk

 

I have Bendix CT-3 pads on hold but haven't put them on yet. I originally bought Hawk HPS pads but after reading about their poor cold bite chickened and sold them. If it's Hawk would definitely choose their ceramic pads over HPS for that reason.
