Hi all,
My wife drives a 2001 4.4 sport with 50k miles on it. I replaced the rears rotors/pads (based on research from this site-Brembo/Akebono)at 40k miles with no problems. I then replaced the front rotors/pads (Brembo/Akebono) at 50K, flushed the fluid and am now noticing an annoying squeal at low speed and the brake pedal travels a bit further. I wasn't happy with it, so I redid the whole brake thing again for the second time. Same results. And yes, I did apply the anti-squeal paste both times. I then took it to an independent BMW service center for an opinion and they thought it was within normal limits of pedal travel.

My question are, do you think the rotors/pads have something to do with the travel distance of the pedal? and should I yank everything out and replace them with OEM parts?

thanks.
Peter
