[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 8600122, member: 51847"] Ok this is starting to annoy me. I took the wheels off to get the rotors, and looking at them more I just don't think they're glazed on either side. They don't feel smooth or slick either. [IMG]http://i32.tinypic.com/2yjvkol.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i25.tinypic.com/xbbzpv.jpg[/IMG] So then I took the calipers off to see if the pads were glazed, and to me they sure looked smooth and shiney which says glazed to me. [IMG]http://i28.tinypic.com/vevqc1.jpg[/IMG] So I did the old Shadetree trick where you rub they on ruff concrete to put a new face on them.(Same principle as dressing a loaded up grinding wheel) [IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/2v96k5e.jpg[/IMG] Well I started driving it to break it in and sure enough it wasn't squeaking. I though I had fixed the problem, but after I did a couple of quick decelerations its started sqeaking again. Its like these pads just keep glazing themselves over which is pissing me off. I also theorized that it might be the springy tabs on the pads rubbing the caliper bracket as you can see that the brackets are pretty shiney wher they have been rubbing. On a side note I took my replica's off,(no they're not for sale) and put my factory wheels back on because my Falkens are getting pretty worn. The tread wear indicators are being worn into pretty bad. [IMG]http://i25.tinypic.com/156rfwg.jpg[/IMG] My car sure does look uglier with a drop running no spacers on the factory wheels, and bulging 315 555R's. lol [/QUOTE]
