Anyone elses brakes already squeaking? I really notice it in the morning when i'm leaving my house for work when the cars cold....do they warm up after a while?? I don't really remember to pay attention to it later..or my music is turned up so I probably wouldn't hear it..but how long would the honda brake pads or whatever is squeaking, let's just say in harsh conditions...or braking hard a lot (which I don't do) last? Thanks.

 

its probably just rust build up on the rotors from the car sitting i wouldn't worry much if that is the only time it does it

I have heard that using the engine to slow you down isn't the best idea. It causes extra wear on the clutch and its cheaper to replace the brakes then it is to replace the clutch.

 

What will the hawk brake pads do shorten stopping distances or just bite harder ?

 

wats the difference?

 

mine are fine but switching to slotted rotors and pads for better stopping power and looks of course

Wow!!! Did I read that right? I'm with "Michael Bolton" on this one. I'm pretty sure I'd rather replace a $100 set of brake pads than a $300 clutch. I wouldn't recommend using down shifting as your brakes. They put brakes on the car for a reason. They're cheaper and easier to replace.
