I need front brakes and I am thinking about installing ceramic brake pads. The stock brake pads put out so much dust I would like some relief from the constant cleaning. I realize that this is a 5,000+ car and I still want it to stop when I push on the brakes. Anyone have any experiences with...

Got my 2013 X1 back from my mechanic after getting front brakes replaced (70k). Leaving the lot the suspension on the front right was crunchy/loud. Mechanic later diagnosed saying the strut bearing plate was to blame and had nothing to do with recent work. Has anyone else had this happen after...

I'm getting ready to replace the OEM pads on my 2005 e86. Yes they are OEM as it only has 55K miles on the clock. I have green EBC sport pads that are going in and I may/may not turn the rotors depending upon the looks of them or if there is much of a lip. I also ordered both sensors as what...

I have a 2011 BMW 328 xDrive. My brake light came on and I started to check my brake pads to see if theyre worn...Theyre all good but I noticed wires hanging from my front left wheel well. I understood that my brake sensor somehow fell off and got ripped off by the wheel. My questions is which...

Happy 4th! I had 'red' brake light came on, went to mechanic and learned that all 4 front/rear brake pads, rotors, sensors need to be replaced. I got a quote for $1650 for labor/parts + tax. Is this somewhere in the ballpark#? I'm waiting a callback from my dealer to see the price difference...
