Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest OEM brake replacement suggestions???

Hey can any of you guys recommend an inexpensive brake rotor/pad replacement for my E0. I am growing tired of the incessent brake squeal everytime I come to a stop. I don't feel the need to step up to Brembo's or Wilwood's. I would like to just replace the rotors and pads with something better than OEM. Any suggestions???

If the squeak is the only thing that is bothersome, pick up some brake cleaner from Pep Boys. From what I hear the sand and dust out here builds up on the pads. The heat from the friction melts it into glass and it coats the pads. Not sure if it's true but it sounds good. Check the bat catalogue if you want to step up.

Being that you have the E0 SVT you have a very good set of brakes already. I would step up to some better pads if you arent willing to go all the way to a brembo or willwood. Get some Greenstuff pads or some other high quality compound. Just remember you usually get what you pay for. Pay the money for the good stuff and you should stop squeeking. The squeek is probably just the crappy, inexpensive pads the dealer you bought it from put on there. Was it you that purchased your vehicle from Sunset? That might be the reason.
