Front right tire. Comes and goes. Sounds just like squeeling brakes when stopping just a little more quiet and louder as you push the brakes or hit bumps.

I am replacing the brakes tomorrow if its not pouring down rain because I know they are low.

it should be the pads. be careful tho as the lower the pads get the more metal is thrown off from the brakes (from the pads) which sucks cause you'll start to see tiny rust stains in your clear coat

Camaro dual piston brakes.
06+ Impala brakes are similar but bolt right on without any modification.

How much better are they? They use bigger rotors? I'd like my back rotors and calipers to be the same size as the fronts.

Good stuff. The f-body/Impala rotors are 12" instead of the 11" or whatever the 04+ GP's are, and they are also dual piston instead of single piston. Those with the 12" GXP rears would be perfect, unless you're Drunkie and want to go crazy. :lol:

My rears are single piston, not sure the diameter. Got new front brakes on, wait till I post a picture of them!!! Crazyness!!! Getting to the backs in a minute. I have a squeek after they get warm they do the same squeek when turning and the right one will do it when slowing but only after I worked them really hot. I put the new aluminum pin things in that hold the brakes in there, and i made sure that the flaps were not touching the rotor at all.

OK I have all the brakes on and the squeel is "gone" totally, hopefully. It seems like it was the inside clips of the metal brackets that the brakes slide into. They expand when heated and reached the rotor.
Also my rotors are not the best, 3 of the 4 are passable, one is pretty shot lol. Don't have the money for them now tho so luckily advanced has the lifetime warrenties on their brakes. So I can do whatever I want to those brakes and get brand new ones. So even if the rotors screw the brakes I'll just trade them in when I get the new rotors.

Impressively uneven wear. Are your slid bolts lubed up nicely?

No, the long ass bolts that hold the caliper to the carrier. 2 per side. But yes, those springy metal parts that the pad slides on should also be lubed up. :ky:
