Squeeky Brakes?

[bpalmer21]

Yeah I thought it was that to, so I started driving and stopping hard as hell and it still squeaks at stop lights. I was interested in the stillens at first because I have wraped so many sets of rotors in the past. (not a on the supra, however.) Maybe I'll just try getting them turned and maybe some new pads. The metal matrix pads would be ok with stock rotors, no? I do really think that drilled rotors would look best, because of my spoke pattern, but not good enough for the cost of the rotors.

Thanks for the reply, I cant wait to get it out of winter storage, and start troubleshooting that damn suspension we talked about this summer.

"Ok" yes, but do you want braking performance that is only "ok"? If you don't want to use stock pads, then your next step up is Hawk HPS.

Sure they'd look cool, but cross-drilled rotors aren't the best choice for braking power or longevity imo. Cross drilled rotors provide less surface area for braking, so performance is worse. Ime, they also tend to crack and warp more quickly when used with relatively powerful calipers (like the Mkiv Supra's).
