Default Break pads light on

Got a couple questions about the break pads light:

1. What's the possible causing of the break pads light to switch on?

2. If it's the break pads? Is it the front or the rear? Do you need to replace them both?

3. What's is the best yet inexpensive break pads set for my car? Where to get it at?

Thanks for all you your help.

Default Sigh :-(

The light surely means that the car is a lemon.

Default Brake pads

1. Front inside pads have the sensor on them. If they're worn it's an indication you should have all your brakes inspected.

2. The indicator is only on the fronts, however you should have them all inspected as the rears have no sensors.

3. Best is subjective and depends heavily on what you define as best, and what qualities you're looking for. Search the archives, and you'll find a ton of information about dozens of great pads.

Default Re: Brake pads

Is it a easy DIY job? Is there any DIY instruction?

If it's not then, how much would be a fair labor cost if I supply my own parts?

Thanks

Default i did my rear brake pads...cost me 30 bucks and 2 hrs to finish.

Just buy brake pads from your local auto part store. I didn't want to be all fancy about brake pads.
