Not true. I have an '89 100Q, and Angela has a '90 90Q20V. Neither of them has squeaky brakes. When mine did two years ago, I replaced the pads with something good (Repco Deluxe Organic) and no more squeak. No more brake dust, either. There is no excuse for squeaky brakes. Either they are cheap-shit pads, they were incorrectly installed, or they are worn too far down. -- Andrew L.
