Hey I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with my front brakes. I bought the car in late July. I had new front brake pads and rotors installed. Would have done it myself but I was in Atlanta. Anyway its Oct. 31 and my rotors have extreme grooves and the brake pads are shot. If you got any ideas please post

Is it one wheel or both. Cause there's only 3 things I can think of that will cause them to wear so fast. 1. Really bad driver who ride's the brake(which I assume your not, SO I'll move on) 2.Stuck caliper (most likely the cause). 3. They installed the brake pads backward's(which I have done. If your not paying close attention its pretty easy thing to do.)

Its both front wheels. I watched the guy install the rotors and I had to show him how to do it. He must have been a new guy or something. As of right now the car barely stops, it becomes a problem Sat. nights racing those imports through traffic. I guess its time to put on new rotors and pads and this time I'll do it myself.

I've decided to swap out the entire front brake system with an 01 SS camaro.

never trust just some guy go to reputable shops or do it yer self but also did he clean the new rotors cuz some have a coating and it might create problems
