05 STI Miles 50K I looked a few of the other threads, but no one ever posted back if they discovered anything in regards to worn pads etc... When stopping at a slow speed (15mph or below) I am getting a nasty brake grinding noise. Brakes stop just fine, the pedal feels the same, but the noise is pretty bad. I did not notice this till I got some new tires put on a month back. Ever since then I have noticed more n more braking noise coming from the car. Ideas? I have not turned the rotors or done pads yet, so maybe it is time.
Pull one of the wheels off and look at the pads. Check the thickness, there may be a gauge that shows you whether or not it's time to replace the pads. I would guess it's about time to replace them. PS, How ya been??
carbos have two metel column things on them...I experienced the same thing after my first track day, and the pads looked like this:
I think I am just going to order some new pads and replace them. What is the min thickness of rotors before they need to be replaced? Hopefully I can just turn those.
