Re: Brake problem
how bad are the rotors?
did you properly break in the pads?
could have glazed hte pads and/or rotors
they did come from autozone....

Re: Brake problem
Update: Just changed out the pads and properly broke them in using the 15-20 near stops from 30 MPH. Squeaking is gone so far, didnt get to turn the shiny rotors as shops are closed today. Do you think that might have fixed it?

Did not break in those pads and the rotors were shiny. They did come from autozone.
