I've got a set of Wearever pads sitting in my garage just waiting for my OEMs to run out. I bought them because of the reviews on here about them having much, much lower dusting. They don't grab as hard as OEM, but the only time that is an issue (so I've read) is if you're threshold braking or tracking the car. I figure for $75 it was worth a shot.

I have a 2011 and they started squeaking within the first 1000 miles. Had the brake pads replaced under the TSB and the new ones squeaked twice as much about 10 miles after leaving the service center. I bedded the brakes under heavy braking and it helped some. Then I searched on the forum and did additional "bedding" for the rears by while putting just the rear on jack stands. It helped significantly and only get squeaking once in a while. I'll be replacing to wearevers soon.

Inspect first. Take a look at the pads through the rims. Is there meat left on there? Next look at you rotors, do they seem glazed? If both of those look good, then either some debris stuck in pad or they just squeel. I had an 06 Charger SRT8 and they came with brembo brakes, they never squeeled. My M3 didnt squeel and my ISF doesnt squeel and still have the stock pads. Even though they are going to need to be replaced soon....

I was just reading through the IS-F Brake Thread and one of the posts stated that the OEM rotors needed to be replaced around 27mm or so. Like I said in one of my previous posts, according to the service records my rotors are at 7mm as of 9/7. That seems pretty bad to me... Am I missing something?

So what's the minimum thickness for rotors?
