Default I am at dealer right now for new brake pads!

I am at the dealer... for new brake pads...

I took the TSB print here and showed to the service guy..

He didn't even look at it and New pads are more noisy... and he asked me U

still want to get replaced it? So I said Yeah... It is very hard to clean.. I still

want to get replaced it.. He said Okay!

How noise is that?

Just get it replaced and make sure you won't get charged.

Good luck!

I've had the new pads for a few months now. Definitely less brake dust but IMHO they don't stop you as well...

cinch house hold cleaner, takes the brake dust off like nothing. and the good part, it won't hurt the clear coat. spray on and wipe off it's that easy.

4 SURE!!

Everyone tells me no noise, but these people at the dealership keep asking me if I really want to do it. Clowns!

8/21 is when my new pads go on! Can't wait.
