I have 22K miles on my 07' AWD250 and my brakes are squealing. Is that normal? I don't drive that hard and I thought you don't have to change your brakes for 40K miles. I do have a lot of brake dust on my front wheels.. could that be the reason? also if i need to replace them, which brake pads should i get? should i go with OEM brake parts? or is there better ones out there that doesn't have that much brake dust? Thanks advance for your comments. you guys are great!

Typically rotors will be replaced at 40k on our cars and 20k for the pads. We have high friction pads and you should swap them out. It is very easy to do yourself, PM me if needed.
i already did the TSIB for brake dust....so any other pads? i thought changing the brake pads are rather "universal" or straight forward as with any other cars? hahahaha...guess im wrong...
thanks....can you recommend me which brake pads i should go with?
I have the EBD Red Stuff Ceramic pads and I am very happy with them! They are expensive but I like the grab they give. They are a little dusty IMO but a great pad!

Brian I would like to see if your guy can get me some performance rotors to swap out the OEM.
i heard the Akebono stree performance pads are one of the best....owners said the dust is very very minimal....so i might go with that one...but i have to have some1 take a look at my brake pads which ones i need to change tho...
Akebono ceramic (proact) do dust very little. In fact, my front Akebono pads put out less visible brake dust in a week than my rear OEM pads in 2 days. That's pretty awesome considering the front wears out more than the rear.
besides the dust how about performance??? i need some brake pads soon
IMO I dont think you will get performance with little break dust. I like the EBC Red Stuff I do get a decent amount of dust but it comes off very easy. I think I am going to upgrade the rotors to see if I am wearing into the rotors and that is where the dust is coming from.
