What are you guys/gals using on your KJ/KKs?
I have been going crazy with the new pads I bought and wish I went OEM. I am getting the nastiest squeal from the driver front side, and no amount of brake silicone, new clips, will quell it. They are Raybestos performance semi-metallic pads and rotors. (wanted to try something different than the dusty MOPAR ceramics I had on there.) No problem with any of the others, just the front drivers. I had the brake lines bled, and still no dice. SQUEAL SQUEAL SQUEAL!
So, I bought a set of ceramic EBC's cause I heard good things about them, although they are $$$. Any thoughts, lemme hear them..

hopefully the solution to my SQUEAL! :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:

Thanks
Jeff

I recently put NAPA Adaptive One pads on front and back. So far, the libby stops when I push the brake pedal.

The Jeel stops fine, just a bit mushy with the current setup I am using. I've heard good things about the Adaptive pads too. EBC claims better braking power over OEM. I guess we will see.

I used the "premium" ones from napa.. so far so good.

On my friends Scion TC, they used "cheap" pads, and they could never get them to stop making noise..
So annoying. He used different pads, and all was right.

I had my pads and rotors changed about 10,000 miles ago and they have been good – no squeaking, zero dust. I forget the brand but looking at the bill it is showing the following:

Brake Pads: BES MKD856 $80.00 for the set (of 4)
Rotors: PRC 53001 $85 for a pair

Also, if you have softness in the brakes it might be the effects of new pads on bad rotors. If your rotors have groves in them (from wear, not from the factory) only part of a new pad will make contact with the rotors. It makes a big difference.

Put the EBC pads on. Much better than the ray bestos I had on previously. I guess our kjs are not fans of the semi-metallic pads.
I had installed new rotors and pads previously, so grooved rotors was not the problem. The EBC pads have a better pedal feel as well. So far the only bad things about them is the cost.

Adaptive One Pads and NAPA Ultra Premium rotors. No noise what so ever and almost zero dust.

I can't wait to get them on my Town & Country as well.

I love them.

you could try chamfering (sp?) the the pads.
