Default Squealing Brakes 1981
I have a 1981 Vette and the brakes are good but squeak big time when coming to a stop. I have had them checked a several shops and they say they are fine as far as ware.The only thing they mention is replacing the pads. Would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and what kind of pads should I use? Any sugestions Thanks Bill

Bill I also have a 1981, my pads are 1 year old and I've never heard any noise from them. If you decide to replace the pads I got mine from Zip, "Maxstop Pads" part #ZDB-322.
