Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Recently my rear rake pad developed the classic scraping / squeal of the brake pads. Indicating they needed replacing. The front hadn't started this so I just replaced the rears, must be about a month ago now. Anyway I dont drive with the music loud so I can generally hear things, I had to take the car out tuesday night luckerly only 2 or 3 miles away as I started breaking on the way back I could hear a little bit of metal on metal. I felt no judder and the pedal felt normal. Now if i hadnt noticed this i wouldnt of liked to stop from 70 ;-) the next time. Just remember not all pads have wear indicators!! http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/8475/dsc00076je8.jpg http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/1808/dsc00077dd6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Just remember not all pads have wear indicators!! You wuss, there's loads of meat left on them, and *all* pads do include a wear indicator, it's called the backing plate. My pads gave up on me at Supra Pod and I found this after I got home. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=56888 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=56889 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
