ok so my brakes are starting to screech when i hit the brakes. it does not make it at the high rpms only when it starts to get lower, and its loud and high pitched.

really dont think its my brake pads cuz i got brand new hawk hps pads about 3 months ago....what else could it be? it started recently and it drives me mad and ust sounds all around bad

 

did you lube the sliders during pad install? what about the backing of the pads?

 

i didnt do the install my sisters ex bf did it and he is a mechanic

 

did you resurface the rotors or did you get new ones?

 

neither, i had a feeling it might be my rotors

 

correct me if im wrong, but the HPS pads were the ones for autocrossing/tracking right? If yes, then that could be your problem. They will squeak because of the pad compoud. High performance pads will be loud/squeak. If they arent racing pads, then 95% sure it your rotors. Just get them resurfaced or pick up some new blanks.

 

hmm, nah these are street pads, the hp plus pads are racing ones i believe. how much does it cost around to resurface these rotors in general

 

im not sure. you would have to ask a local brake shop. Ive never resurfaced rotors, everytime i change my pads, i end up slapping on new rotors. Proparts.com runs a special for integras for $4X.XX (around 40bucks or so) for all 4 rotors. So i just grab those (great rotors made by centric which is owned by stoptech, according to proparts) and put them on. And i dont have much rotor life left anyways, running my axxis ultimates and spirited driving and autoXing doesnt help the rotors

 

thanks for all the help man

 

no prob.
