I have a very bad squeak coming from the passenger side (ever since I got the car 2 months ago, the place I got it from never dealt with it like they were supposed to so I am gonna have to)

It pulls very bad the the right .. and ever since I blew out the front passenger side tire by hitting a curb, it is even worse. my first step is replacing the brakes and rotors... I found a package deal on ebay for all 4 rotors and brakes.

Im looking for a good price and best for performance.

What is your take on these?

This is the perfect excuse for an uprgade. Look into the LS or TT front breaks. U can usually get the rotors, pads and calipers for under $500, even less for the LS ones. Definatly an improvement in performace as well. Just make sure your wheels can fit them. Hey, an excuse for a wheel uprgade too!!

1993.5-1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo front brake calipers, pads, and rotors, or
1995-2000 Lexus LS400 front brake calipers, pads, and rotors.

They are both four piston upgrades to the stock SC400 system with larger diameter rotors for better heat dissipation.

The LS400 calipers are made from aluminum and are a lot lighter than the Supra calipers, which are steel.

edit: I see that you're a chick, so I'll give you a pass.

OH, all right.

SO....First things first. Find out why your car is pulling to the right. Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it could be a brake dragging; so you could jack up the front wheel on the passenger side and spin it to see if the brakes are indeed dragging. Then you could jack up both rear wheels (chalk the front wheels so it doesn't roll), put it in neutral and spin the passenger rear wheel to check for brakes dragging.

However, I doubt it's either, so let's move on to a more likely cause which is, as you said, YOU HIT A CURB!! , so think alignment first. Have it checked and have them look for a bent wheel (wobbles when spun) or a bent tie rod, etc . . . they should know what to look for if you tell them you hit a curb and blew a tire. If the shop is really nice, they may even double check the brakes for you

Once your car rolls straight, see if the noise is still there. Don't spend all your money on brake upgrades until it's properly tracking down the road; you may need the money to fix that first. G/L
