ok, i apparently have the notorious squeaky wheel / brake problem. my OEM brakes and rotors have about 14k miles on them, total on the car is 63k.

1. when i press on the brakes, they squeal horribly. the pads have plenty of thickness to them and the rotors barely have a lip on the edge.

2. when i start rolling at low speeds, my car squeals. this happens up to about 15 mph. then the squeek stops.

I have a couple questions :

can i get away with changing just the pads and/or sensors? or do i have to change pads/ rotors / sensors?

any suggestions about non-oem pads that will cut down on squealing?

this is my daily driver, i dont track it, and rarely drive very "spirited", but would like something thats stops well. my main concern is the embarrasment the squeal causes.

I put about 1/2 as much as Mr. 5 did, no squeal.

Edit: saw your other thread. It's unlikely it's the pads, it's probably the pad's backing plate oscillating/squealing with the brake caliper. I'd highly recommend that you stick with OEM (Ate) brake pads.

Yes try disk brake quiet. Ive never used it prior to the 335 and never had a problem. But it seems to work on the bmw's.
