I use KYB gas shocks in the front of my AD got then from Steve's in Couva after KC, I think they are also available at the Motorist. Right now I running some OHK pads and it nuh working so hot. I recently machined my rotors and started hearing a noise like the pad rubbing on the rotor. Anyway I bought new some FU rotors and when i install them i think i gonna go with some wagner brake pads.
what kinda noise yuh hearing from the brakes is it constant or only when you apply the brakes?

Back brake probbably only need dusting out and adjusting. Agree with wagner, boss brakes. The front could be the break wear sensor. Doh sound like major problems.

This is to fix one of the problems the man said or just some general advice to put in the strut tower bar to increase handling performance?

Wagner brakes is the closest I have felt to the OEM, pretty much feels more or less the same.
Make certain that the brake pads haven't gone all the way down to nothing, then you would severely damage your rotors.

I'm using wagner brakes on my AD and they work great, only problem i have experienced is that they last me about 4-5 months. I still have them on and I'm planning on changing it by month- end, the original AD brakes ($195- Good Ones) last me close throughout the year (9/10 months).
The cheap brake pads lasts around 2 months, and yuh know dem AD brakes fierce

, i don't even need ABS.
Trini Tech...check yuh wear on dem brake pads.
