Rear brake squeal Do Rotors need replacing? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be M. Hirsh on  Fri Dec 29 06:59 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I'm tired of hearing the rear brake squeal after replacing both rear rotors with Brembos, and the pads with Axis metal masters. Synthetic high temp grease on the back of the pads and pistons quiets the squeal temporarily, but then it returns. The pads still have good thickness. I am thinking of going back to the oem pad with built in shim. The question is whether or not to replace the rotors at the same time. These only have about 20k miles on them, but do have some visible grooves. Are the brembos as good or better than oems?
