Right - sorry if I wasnt clear guys - stock calipers. Six piston Brembos up front and stock single piston rental car calipers on rear.
The rear are the ones giving me grief. The fronts make a high pitched squeal under braking (like racing brakes do, but since these are street pads I wonder if I need to add a shim). The rears make a kind of scratching sound when rolling. But maybe all of that goes away with miles. I’m still thinking to go back to stock pads because they have all the anti noise stuff on them.
I will also clean up the inside of the caliper to make sure I have good contact across the face of the contact area.
FWIW I emailed RB and will report back. I’ll also screw it all back together and see how it goes.
BTW I confirmed all the weights and they are indeed 10 lbs lighter on both fronts and 2 lbs each on the rear.
Last question folks - if I put a couple of hundred miles on these pads and I change them to the stockers, can I get them to bed OK without doing anything special to these rotors?
