Message: <blockquote data-quote="stephen" data-source="post: 37312" data-attributes="member: 120">Originally posted by stephen@Dec 8 2004, 02:05 PM i changed my brake pads, both front and rear sets, just b4 Raya. ATE brand (part of Continental Tyres group) RM180 for front set and RM150 for rear sets @ M-Speed Subang. Have done over 1,000kms since and still have minor screeching sound at traffic crawls. So just now i brought car back for mechanic to test....he never encounter problems with ATE for BMWs and after testing, decided to replace the front set with new ones FOC (but no stock for rear ones). So we test again and this time sound obviously from the rear tyres set. Dunno what he sprayed on the rear pads but it works, ...sound is gone. I am supposed to test over two days and if it happens again, he will change the rear sets. He said if i changed the discs to new ones also, then this problem shouldnt happen as contact should be even if both disc and pads are new ....yeah, so much money meh! Why change brake discs when still ok.Will update the condition of my brake pads in 2 days....  went back to check brake pads due to presistent screeching sound ... changed FOC new sets and the sound still there. Finally gave in to mechanic saying that brake discs are due for change. 4 orignal BMW brake discs x RM300 each. No more screeching sound, just the sound of me moaning at the cost.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
