Hello guys,
Did a 60,000 KM service exactly one month ago.
I changed the front and rear pads + the rear discs, along with other things.
The car brakes fine, but there's a really annoying squeaking noise.
I called the garage and they said that there shouldn't be any squeaking noise at all, even if the discs and pads aren't original.
I'm gonna go there next week, but I wanted to check with you guys first.
1) Is squeaking normal with brand new discs and pads?
2) I have a lot of dust on my alloys, is it related to the quality of the pads?
3) I also have a lot of rust..or yellowish stuff on the rear discs - How normal is that? I saw more then a few cars with polished, silver, out of the box looking discs..nothing like mine. Is there a way to avoid it? Or is it quality related as well?
4) If I would to improve my "braking ability" - Is there a recommended discs/pads company out there in the market? (fitting an Astra J obviously). I heard of REMSA & LUCAS, but I know nothing about them. (Just for the sake of knowledge - Money is no object).
Thanks a lot in advance,
