just wonderign if anyon ehas experienced this. when i slow down from probably around 10mph and lower i can hear/feel a rumbling comming from infront down in the tire/braking area. i just replaced pads with axxis like a month ago (altho they already squeel. never getting axxis again) and i just had my tension rods upgraded to NAMS ones, other than that i dunno. i checked all the bolts on the brakes and wheels area and they are tight, so im just trying to speculate wut the problem is. anyone got a clue?

warped rotors, possibly bent wheels


i'm assuming you not only kept your stock rotors w/ Axis metal pads, but didnt have them resurfaced when you did so

the metal pads probably caused your old crappy rotors to warp (much hotter temps from this pad) and not resurfacing the rotor cuased the squeal soon after install


get your pads smoothed out and some new rotors (brembo)

my car is pretty low but this happend from way before i lowered the car.

you are correct in that i havent resurfaced rotors and they are stock. i was told it would work fine as a stock brake pad replacement and i wouldnt need any aftermarket rotors or anything =/ thanks guys ill try to get everything fixed and let you know how it goes.

when you turn some times does the rumble go away? if it does... on of your wheel bearings may be bad..... usualy when people describe rumble... i think of the wheel bearing

i use axxis pads and mine never squeal. I've gone through 4 sets of high temp pads on one set of brembo rotors with a lot of hard mountain driving and smoking brakes. The rotors held up pretty well although i dont think they'll see another set of pads.

you can get brembos from napa for about 40 bucks each

but as this level...the brand of the rotor doesnt really even matter
