My brakes started squeaking the other day and I just checked them out, they seem like they are ready to be replaced. What brand brake pads do you guys recommend that aren't that expensive?? Thanks

I just replaced my front brake pads , i have drums in rear so i didnt touch those. Once i finished everything up and got in car the brake pedal has almost no pressure. I feel like the brake drums are whats stopping the car because it takes a second or two to actually stop the car. Can anyone help me!?

^^X2 or atleast inspect brake system. I'd assume you didnt take the brake lines loose for any reason if all you did was change the pads, so check for pressure leaks/brake fluid leaks. especially at the wheel cylinders on the rear brakes ive seen them leak on other vehicles. also new brake pads dont always work "great" when there first put on, you have to break them in, google it.

First bleed them, if that doesn't help make sure everything is lubed and moving right.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.
