I got a problem, well i changed the brake pads and resurface the rotors but then while im driving, everytime i brake i can hear some sort of squealing coming from the brakes, but how can that happen if i just resurface the rotors and change the brembos pad? any comment is appreciated. Thanks.

Did you install the shims properly?

Clean everything? Lubricate the slides? Add anti-squeal to the back of the shims?

a buddy of mine did that the first time but then he didnt resurface the rotors so i told him "u was suppose to resurface the rotors first" so he took it back out and resurface the rotors and put back the pads and its now making the squealing noise but then the first time it also squeal every now n then

What brand are the pads?

Hard for us to help if you didn't do the work, since we don't know what was done.

I'd recommend YOU pull it apart and make sure it's done right. Brembos on a G are really simple to work on.

You should not have to ... if you have just had it done. Replacing pads does not absolutely require re-surfacing.

When you replace pads or rotors, it is, however, important to follow the pad burnish procedures to get a thin film of pad material onto the rotors.
