brakes help

[bullitt_2620]

So I just get my new wheels and put them on, then out of nowhere my front brakes start squeeking, literally the same day...A weird coincidence but whatever, maybe it was just their time. So I had them taken apart and found out that the pads have like 60% life left. The pads and rotors were resurfaced and the sound went away under light braking but is still there under moderate pressure, and its getting worse. Does anyone know if there is like an anti squeek out there for brakes that wont totally kill my stopping power? I really dont have the cash to replace them right now and dont really want to with as much life as they have left. Please help me it soo embarrassing when the brakes make noise every time I touch them. Thanks for the help :SNSign:
Oh and I believe they are Hawk pads with Frozen rotors.

i had hawk pads on my cobra and they were great......




for a while. then they started to make noise like crazy....probably after about 8-10,000 miles. my g/f had them on her jeep grand cherokee v8, same issue, great at first then sequel and squeak like crazy. i swapped out to the Vatozone ceramic pads (whatever their top of the line is) and my issues are gone. i can report back in a few thousand miles if the noise comes back, but that will be a while, and if it does....lifetime warranty, take them back and get new ones.

Yea its probably been close to that many miles on mine. So you just changed the pads and left the rotors? Did you resurface the rotors?

Anyone else have any advice?? I really hope i dont have to bite the bullitt and buy some new brakes.

i kept the same rotors and just changed the pads after the hawks started squeeking. they look like ass, especially now i have painted calipers, but i will do some painted rotors over the winter.
