Red face Red Stuff??

IS 250 AWD

It's starting to get warm out, finally (live in Michigan). With the windows down more often, the break squeal is quite annoying. Not to mention the unrelenting break dust.

I've been thinking about switching to red stuff pads, but I'm kind of a NEWB to this subject and was curious as to your thoughts on these pads. I would like to switch soon.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

what in the hell are you talking about?! look up brake pad tsb in search. you can get new brakes for free from the dealer. why would you waste a single penny doing it yourself?

Calm down, kimosabe... Maybe he's got more dignity than to try to cheat the dealer out of a new set of brake pads. There are certainly better ways to communicate your point than the way you just tried to.
