Brakes making a squeaking and grinding noise.

[Gandalf]

I don't have a clue as to what's going on with my brakes, they are squealing and making a grinding sound. I pulled the pads and it looks as though I should be able to get another 30k out of them , there must be something else wrong, any ideas?

Have pics of the rotors?

No, they have already been turned once so they weren't going to be reused anyway.

I don't see any pad material left. Is that just occurring to that one pad? Dragging a caliper perhaps?

Something similar happened to me once too, rear caliper. One pad worn down to metal while other was at 90%
Root cause: sticking sliders. My guess is that shop used grease that made slider's rubber sleeve to expand.

Joking guys, both sides were worn badly.

We are going to need to have datalogs. Do you have a VersaTuner, Accessport, or still running the CPE Standback?

We also need your Vdyno to confirm that the brakes are having problems

@Rokusek, I think OP needs some help troubleshooting this.

Have you checked your dip stick? Both the cars and other?

tapatalk, it sucks

Of course you'd think of a "stick"

Low fog light fluid would most definitely cause this. If that doesn't fix it, check your seat horn emergency release button. It's in the gas tank door.

New EBC yellows with freshly cleaned rotors installed on the car today. I haven't taken the car out yet, thinking I'm going to change the brake fluid also. I have ATE Super blue in the car now which isn't available anymore but it's basically the same as their 200 so I'll grab some unless y'all can guide me to something better. I don't need all out track fluid and don't have issues changing the fluid every year, I have a Motive power bleeder.
