i changed my front brakes today and no more creaking. i had almost forgotten what its like to come to a smooth stop. sooo much better. i replaced the stock poop with duralast rotors (2 year warranty) and bendix ceramic pads. i might take a look at the rears tomorrow, i ran out of time at the shop today. the hardest part by far was getting the lugs off. the damn dealership must have used like 200 psi when they put them on. the air at the shop only went up to 140 and wouldnt budge em. had to do them by hand. i even broke the "breaker bar" i was using, then they gave me the heavy duty breaker bar and i was able to get em off. i thought for sure i was going to break the bolts but luckily none of them did. i called the dealership and bitched em out about it.
