Yep, Mine are on the indicator and squeeking like a old house. I just ordered the 04-05 pads but a quick question. I was going to order the motul dot 5.1 brake fluid as well but don't know where to order. Also, are we resurfacing our rotors when we change the pads? You guys have any suggestions or can I buy from a retail store locally? Any help is appreciated.

i checked the pads and they had a lot of meat still left on them. the last time i applied the spray on brake quiet and it was quiet for about 2 weeks. But i think i didn't let it dry over night like a friend suggested. I think i will get the other type of brake quiet for the tech day.

if you keep the same type of brake pad you usually don't need to resurface the rotors. not sure where to get the motul brake fluid. try the s2ki store.

I'm going from 00-03 pads to 04-05 pads. Will there be any occurence of glazing if I just change the pad? I did check the s2ki store but not a member. Broke s2ki owner trying to mod on a budget, lol!

I am not sure, but I don't think that the material would be any different. the pads are also probably identical.

I did a read in under the hood and they said the 04-05 pads are a little more dusty with a little extra added bite. Won't know until I change them.
