[QUOTE="wheelhopper, post: 10635008, member: 32430"] Scott, the sound you are hearing is probably due to the dimpled rotors you are using. Slotted, drilled, and dimpled rotors will tend to make a noise vs. smooth rotors. When using a new type of pad with an old rotor, you should lightly sand or use scotchbrite pad on the old rotor to clean the previous pads material off. Since you did not do that, the juddering you were feeling was probably due to the different materials not meshing well together and the material on the rotor wore off after your first session of hard use. If you drove on the new pads for a couple days prior to the event, they were probably bedded enough to work correctly. When bedding at the track I typically take the car out to just outside of the track and do about 6-8 firm stops from 60mph to 10mph. I then drive a minute or so to let them cool down and try to give them a couple more hard stops from around 70-80mph. This usually does the trick for me. [/QUOTE]
