    Anyone Changed The Front Brake Pads Already?

    My Right Front Brake Pad Is Squiking Already ( Do To Roed Kill) And My Tec At Dodge Said I Need To Get Them Replaced, I Can Not Just Buy One Side I Have To Buy Both.

    Does Any One Know Of A Good Aftrermarket Brake Pad For The Hemi, Or Should I Buy The Mopars For $138.00?


    Thanks

    I replaced mine at 15,000 miles (road racing wore them out). Rotors were in very good shape. The pads are Mercedes design and are ceramic. Great heat dissapation; good wear factor and no brake dust!!!

    Use the OEM's. Worth every penny. Awesome brakes for a large 4 door vehicle.

    I saw them somewhere for $119.00.

    345 RT, I forgot to add - you need to replace both sides. Be careful with your car until they are replaced. You don't want to score the rotors.

    My brakes have started squeaking after long drives, but not after short stints.

    My Mag has 20,000 miles and the brake pads must still be good, because I get no squeaks yet.

    Wow I Never Would Have Expected Brake Pads To Be $120. Sheeshhhh.

    If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

    28 K and the pads look as thick as new. My Intrepid R/t's went 85K plus with factory pads, depends on how you drive, I prefer using the pedal on the right, not the left!!
