Finally took a few minutes to pull the tire off my car to find the constant squealing noise coming from the passenger side front wheel. Turns out the pad was wore down to the point that the wear indicator was rubbing all the time.
 Time for some new brakes. As much as I'd love to do the big brake upgrade, I think that I'm gonna just have to get some stock stuff to put back on. Anyone know if you can turn cross-drilled rotors? Rob -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

A lot of newer car's rotors aren't really thick enough to turn, especially if they are warped or deeply gouged. I'd say replace them with some nice aftermarket ones. I think that the stock rotors on a lot of cars can't handle extreme braking, Kristy has warped them on almost every car she's ever owned. I've never really had a problem, until now. I know the GM ones are especailly prone to warpage.
And yes, turned rotors would be more prone to warp. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
