So in other words you just need new rotors and pads?

A set of good RDA or DBA rotors and some decent brake pads should set you back around $1000-$1500.

If you want a 'brake kit' just because it is squealing, don't bother. Rectify the issue of it squealing. Could be shims missing on back of pad, dust,foreign objects, pad compound, low pads etc

The people who 'fix brakes' and say it is common are people who can't be f**ked looking at your car. I have looked at a few with squealing issue but it is by no means common or normal.

Take it elsewhere.

If your looking for better performance from your brakes let us know and people will be able to recommend brakes that may suit you.

when you replace your pads do you have your rotors machined? this could be causing the squealing. are your guide pins lubed?

if you've tried this stuff, and want new pads and rotors just for street driving grab some dba rotors, bendix gct pads, a can of that 'disk brake quiet' stuff that you spray on the back of your pads and lube your guide pins.

should solve it

Specialised Brake & Clutch in Penrith are excellent, they deal with performance cars & brake upgrades every day.

They are straight shooters, I have never had anything but excellent service from them. Don't have their number on me, but yellow pages will

Good luck.
