When i brake i hear a high pitch screeching sound, but my brakes are still good for a while.
My friend said that they screech because they're metallic brakes?
idk
What can be causing this?
Thanks!

Drop the pads and install some anti squeal paste.. Common problem with all cars.

You sure the pads are good? If someone didn't reinstall your wear sensors you won't know when to change pads and you could be out.

If the brake pad wear sensors were not re-installed then the brake pad wear warning light would be on all the time.
