Its true that they arent the best, I would rate them "OK"
They certainly are not good at high speeds.

Man what's on the go with your brakes? Just FYI, they shouldn't be doing that.

Do you know what might be causing this???

That's definately something to check out. The only time I've had brakes that squeal that much is when the pads are worn out and the metal wear indicator is contacting the rotor.

when was the last time you changed your rotors? I thought my brakes sucked too. I would press the brake to the floor and it would pulsate. So i took it up to midas. And the guy said my rotor were warped.
