I painted one of my calipers so far, but plan to do all four. I used VHT high temp paint - super cleaned with brake cleaner, sand paper and alcohol. Painted twice with primer, three with red, and two with satin clear coat. Came out nice, was hard to put it back together without scraping the...

I purchased a set of HPS Hawk Brake Pads for my 2012 Ford Mustang GT as a performance upgrade. After some time I noticed warped rotors. I check the pads and some of the clips were missing. Then I received a new 2nd set under warranty and was ready to install new front brake pads and new rotors...

I daily drive a 2010 Mustang 4.0 V6 Base. I just bought new set of 19/245/8.5 wheel and tire package. Now that i have these new wheels and tires I'm looking to upgrade from the stock rotors and pads to a new drilled and slotted rotor and pad set for the front and rear. Ebay has a front and...

I have an 2008 Bullitt and it is time for me to get some brake pads. I have stock right now. Stock rear rotors with wearever rotors up front (so basically crappy yet long lasting rotors).

Hey guys, I am experiencing some really loud squeaking when I'm driving. It stops when I apply the brakes and come to a full stop but starts right back up as soon the wheels start moving again. I'm thinking wheel bearings/balljoints/tie rods but seeing as how I am having no general steering...

So, I'm very new to the whole "fixing my own car" thing, but I've decided to take up the new hobby after taking my car to the shop and being quoted nearly $1000 for some (semi extensive) brake work. Here's my story in a nutshell before I ask my question: My car has been making this awful...

I have a 2000 GT that I have owned for about a month. I just replaced the front rotors and pads and when I was reinstalling the calipers there was barely enough room to slide the calipers over the pads, even with the pistons fully pressed back. Now when I am driving I can feel the resistance...

Hi All, I need some advice from brake experts here. I had replaced my pads earlier, but then found a few weeks later that my front drivers side pads are thinner and there's excessive brake dust on that side. So I replaced the pads again and lubricated the slide pins but now that doesn't seem to...

ok guys i just thre on the new brackets and rotors. Theyre seems to be more friction with these new rotors and brackets. Before the install i could loosely rotate the wheels with little effort. Now it is not a constant glide, the pads are in constant contact with the rotors im worried about...

Ok, is it necessary to install new pads when installing new brake rotors? Or can you reuse your old pads and still expect good braking? Any tips about installing brakes is highly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, I am a new member, My 1998 Mustang 4.6L GT has a little squeak. When I start to drive over 10 MPH while making a slight right turn, there is this chirping sound. As I increase speed the chirping gets faster too. The sound is high-pitched but not extremely loud. And when I hit the brakes...
