Just this sunday driving my brakes started grinding when i stopped, and made some godawful noises, when the brakes are not applied they make a higher pitched noise which varies with the speed of the car, alos im pretty sure i noticed a decrease in stopping power. On a good note...A buick regal gnx thought i was supercharged with the noise they were making while driving at about 50, so of course when he asked i chose not to let him in on my little secret hehe, ah yes, the worlds first supercharged contour without a supercharger, should i put this in the mods section? Maybe a how-to?

Sorry, I don't know if you're the world's first. I have a leak in my intake system that sounds like a supercharger above 4500 RPMs. I have quite a bit of people that claim to be car experts believing that it's supercharged. As for the brakes thing, try cleaning with brake cleaner or if you can see that you have no pad left, follow horsedug's advice: new pads and rotors
