So my car is starting too really squeak before it was just sometimes a little bit but today it seems to have gotten really bad squeaking everywhere I stopped. The only time it would not squeak was when I braked hard to stop. I know this is a common issues but does anyone have any tips on how to fix this issue the pad still has 60% life left at least. Thanks for the replies

it'll still be there, exactly the same, if u change ur pads ONLY. Your problem is the shims. That's what I was told by Lexus dealer, I changed to the EBC Green stuff (shims built in). Problems went completely away (100% no squeek). My rears, heh.... that's another story

I said it in another thread, but if your car is under 4 years, 50k miles I believe is the timeframe, there is a TSB if the pads & rotors are dealer parts. The TSB replaces pads, rotors, and shims I believe
