I'm starting to hear a grinding sound from the drivers side rear break and the tire kingdom guys have told me that both the brakes and rotors are under spec. so i'm going to have to buy new ones, preferably from auto zone or Napa auto.

Any particular kind that work best?

Thanks,

The rear brakes don't do nearly as much work as the fronts, so for a normal street car, just get some decent OEM-level rotors - you don't need anything fancy. I'd still get some ceramic pads though, even if only because the dust production is so much less and they last longer (in my experience anyhow).

 

Purems has a basic complete brake kit package.. Pads and rotors at a great price.

 

I get TRW rotors + pads for both My a4 and my moms mercedes.

 

I like Raybestos and buy them from Rockauto.

 

I agree with ImtheDevil - ceramic pads are the way to go. That's all I use.

 

Thanks, i think i'm gonna go with the Purems complete set. Anyone opposed to this?
