Breaks squealing like crazy

Jordon,

I heard you were the man... My breaks are squealing like crazy. I ended up getting new rotors for my car but did not replace the pads. What pads do you recommend and can you help me install them? Just lemme know the price I want to learn how to do it properly on an E46. I've changed brake pads on a chevy truck but that's about it

Thank You,
Stephen

For a street BMW that sees regular enthusiastic driving I like PBR Ultimates a lot. Dust is middle of the road (not minimal, not excessive) initial bite is great, and heat tolerance is excellent. They are also very quiet under operation.

95% of production cars use the same basic type of sliding caliper. Shape and size varies by application, but the general design remains the same. If you have changed pads on one car that knowledge can be used to do your BMW's pads.

I can change the pads on your car at all four corners for $75 + parts.

Yo Jordon,

Can I buy the PBR's locally or can I get them through you? Let me know what time works for you for install.

Thanks!
