Time to change the brake pads & shoes.
Mine, bought 6 months ago have a very nasty squeal when hot so I have to change them before they drove us completely crazy.
We're looking more for quietness (from the beginning) and reduced rotor wear, performance and durability comes second since this is not a racing van :wink:
From your experience, what would be the best choice in terms of price/quality from this list?

I usually go into a local parts store and get ceramic brake pads. They produce less dust. Also, I check to see if the pad material goes the whole length of the pad and is not just a little amount in the middle of the pad.:2cents:
