Ever since I bought my 2016 Scion iA (manual), I've been hearing noise from the front when braking in cold weather (mornings and late nights mostly in the winter).
Toyota has resurfaced them. That fixed it for about 6 months. Then it came back slowly and progressively worse but I was too busy to go back. Once I ran out of the free Toyota Care, I paid to have it the pads (OEM) changed and resurfaced again. That was a good fix for about a two months.
Now I am certain I need to change the rotors and pads with aftermarket parts.
Does anyone know if the OEM pads are ceramic or semi-metallic?
It seems the OEM rotors are 4-lug nut holes though. If I were to purchase from a semi-popular aftermarket maker, they have either 5-10 lug nut holes (I'm guessing for them to be a universal fit for most). Will this be an issue?
