Hi Folks,

I recently bought a set of front bad pads for my 1986 Westy. It took me
no time to put them on ... and, for the first 2 weeks they were more or
less quiet.

Now, 30 days later ... holy cow ... I can't drive my van with out them
squealing loudly/sharply every time I come to a stop, from 20 mph to 0.

I bought what my local parts store had in stock that day ... I was
really low on pad wear and had to get something. They were only $24.00.
ADP's or some such name. Nothing too remarkable about them. So .. I get
what I pay for.

Now I am ready to pay more if need be  and am looking for a good brand.
Please, pass on any suggestions for brand, make, model or style (i.e.
metalic vs semi). Price is not a factor. I just want quieter front
brakes.

Thanks much,
Cheers,
dave
