My brakes screech like crazy unless i really hit the brakes hard enough

They are stock


Are they worn down.

I absolutely hate hitting my brakes because of the god awful noise



Any suggestions???

Its possible that could be the problem..

There is a TSB for that, located here (about 1/2 way down the page):

Go to the dealer.

Get some cermaic or carbon kevlar brake pads.

Go to Porterfield brakes.

porterfield brakes are great.
