are the bads worn down all the way?

the bads, where are the bads in the break assembely

althought by the sounds of it there all the way throught oscars car

[Oscar]

where's the break assembly?
Yeah they're as thick a a sheet of paper

Make sure you have a c-clamp to push the piston back in ... if you do not have one, you are going to have a BEAR of a time compressing the unit to fit back over the rotor.

I got them changed, though one was worn down to the metal I still have the weird sound I initially wanted them changed for. It's like a jet plane engine sound when I press the brakes at high or low speed. hmmm anyone have an idea of what this could be?

I hope the one worn to the metal didnt damage the rotors. Thats not a cheap job either. I alsmost did that and my rotor had some scuffing but it was luckily ok.

[Oscar]

Both rotors were turned (shaven and evened out) so they are nice and even and still thick. Thicker than what the minimum thickness is as far as specs go.

Good Good.

[Oscar]

no not good! I still have that sound. It's a loud sound!

do you know which tires its coming from? or is it the whole car?

[Oscar]

front right

[Oscar]

appears that one of the rotors wasn't turned right so they returned it, did something and it's gone, but now my brake pedal vibrates

Also, make sure you do not have a rock or pebble up in there!

[Oscar]

nope no rocks or pebbles. I shoulda changed them myself [:(]

If you have the know-how, I would always recommend that. Then, at least you know you are not going to screw yourself.
