noise from brakes?

[jebus82]

when braking from high speeds a couple of times in the past 3 months (but not all the time) there has been a strange noise present. its hard to describe but its kind of like duda duda duda duda??? (no laughing at my impressions!!!)

i know my pads are getting low and will need changed so could it be anything to do with that?? it doesnt happen if i brake from like 70-30mph more when its 90-50mph (not on a public road of course)

also as my pads are gona need done does anyone have any reccomendations over the standard subaru ones, as i have the normal wrx brakes on the gb270? not got enough money for a brake upgrade....YET!!!!

cheers for any help

any vibration through the pedal at the same time? sounds like possible warped discs - grooved discs can make that sort of noise too but im guessing yours are standard?

for pads i really liked the mintex 1144 pads, get some fresh brake fluid and braided lines at the same time and you should be happy

I've just had a siomilar problem and it was warped front discs. But I could feel the judder through the steering wheel during hard breaking. New discs and pads and as good as new.

warped discs were my origional thought but as its only happend 2-3 times in the past 2 months and im not getting any feedback through the pedals or steering it has me stumped?? the disc look fine, although i know slight warping would be hard to spot.

sounds like a slight warp, have a look here i have had a set on the car for over a year with no probs and better than standard
