05 STS front brakes
Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2018 8:10 am
So I already have new pins, boots and caliper brackets...somewhere. All I've been holding out on is the pads. As of June 2017, there was tons of meat on both inner and outer (pictures in the "Brake feel quest" thread). Given the squealing I am thinking the left front inner pad may be spanked. I am just going to order Hawk HPS front pads. I have put 14k on the car since purchase and the front pads and rotors were done by the previous owner. I forget when and at what mileage, but have those records somewhere. Maybe in my general STS thread.

A little pricey at $88 but I know I like these pads from my CTS-V and Caprice.
Anyway, based on my recent SRX experience, I want to get to this before an inner pad eats the rotor and I have to do rotors. I am not planning on doing rotors this go-round. It may also be that rotor rust has built up and is rubbing on the pad clips. I will probably wait until I have pads on hand before checking so I can just do the brakes if it is needed.
