So after I got my USW's there was no way in hell I could leave the stock pads on that let off all that brake dust. So I switched to Centri Posi Quiet pads. Upon installing the front and rear pads after about 10 miles the rears emitted this squeal when coming to a stop that could be heard a block away even after bedding the new pads, after dealing with it for 1 week I ordered new rear rotors and new rear pads changed them out and that issue was resolved. So upon my return from a mini vaca in Florida guess what? The fronts now are squealing not as bad as the rears were and while coming to a stop from 80+ the steering wheel shakes a tad when braking hard. Warped rotors, just ordered 2 new rotors $150 and new pads $45. So beware when going from stock pads to any other pads the rotors dont like it one bit, my rears are as quiet as can be and the fronts soon will be also. No bedding done to the new rears and there will be no bedding process dont when the fronts get replaced. Just like a new car. Just some FYI when you change pads.
If you find a shop that knows what they're doing, you can/could of had your stock rotors turned (re-surfaced) until they're at minimum thickness. If I were you, I WOULD bed the brakes in with the new rotors. Bedding puts down a layer of brake pad material on the disc so that you're braking is more effective. If you do the bedding properly and let the disc cool down slowly, there is no harm to the rotor.
Noone around here will resurface slotted rotors and I mean noone. The new pads were bedded several times the right way with no luck even Dr.Z had no clue as to why. So I had no choice.
That's the dealership employee price, but even retail they're usually only $80-90 for the OEM slotted rotor. Now the OEM brake pads are a bend over and grab your ankles type of part...
wow...... i have had ZERO issues with my posi-quiet reds. same rotors as when i got the car!! over 30K miles on the brakes with the reds and not one issue!! sorry to hear your issues anthony!!! btw - where in florida were you????
