Any helpful tips for a brake job?, Looking for inputs Options

[94GT]

Hi, it's time for a brake job (2nd one since I bought the car 170,000 miles ago) and I'm looking for some input on how to do it right. For starters, I'm replacing the rotors this time. Last time (1st time) I just changed the pads and for fun I swapped out the brake hoses and bled the system. I did NOT resurface the rotors because I didn't think they were thick enough, so for the past 70,000 miles or so, it's been squealing. I used anti-squeal compound, but that didn't do it I didn't use brake cleaner on any parts. All I did was raise the vehicle, swap pads and hoses. Any of you guys who have tips on how to make my brakes sound happy for the next 70,000 miles, please drop a post. Thanks!

i just changed my front rotors this weekend and calipers from a gt. the rotors are rotora slotted, i changed the brake lines for some steel ones.



I followed the rotors directions which said to clean the rotors with some brake cleaner to get rid of the oil the put on to keep it from rusting while it sits on the shelf. I put brake grease on the back of the pads to prevent squeeking. Then when i bled the brakes, i started with the rear pass. side rotor because its the furthest from the master cylinder, moving to the rear driver, then front right, finally front left. get all the air out of the lines and you should be good.
