We do have brake sensors..it's call the metal tabs on the brake pads that squeals when you've ran your brakes down to the ground

Ok when I checked the brake fluid it was above the minimum line but about a half inch below the max line so I guess I'll fill it up to the line and see what happens ...

Ok so off I got to replace my pads for now at least, I'll have to upgrade rotors and SS lines later since I just realized I need new tires, another $500 outta my pocket

So, which pads provide the most performance with the LEAST amount of noise or brake dust possible?

Thanks for all the input guys

heheh. yeah those are called wear indicators.

but anyway, what i don't understand is how a lot of people go with heavy expensive-@$$ wheels but won't dish out the cash for quality rotors and pads. it's no wonder some people have to resurface or replace their rotors at about 10,000 miles.

I've got some Brembo cross-drilled and slotted rotors and some Axiss pads with less than 300 miles on them. Bought 'em and swapped to supra pads. Front only let me know if you want them. 100 plus shipping takes 'em
