Default Re: Brake rotors/Brake pads

Manny,
Sounds like you have a nice brake set-up for the track. However, for just driving around town, them pads probably aren't getting up to their proper operating temps, hence the loud squealing. What pads were installed? I think a set of softer "street" pads for the street only may help. There's a big difference in material compound between a track pad and a street pad.

Frank,
Thanks in expressing the safety concerns. I know many of us are mechanically inclined, do-it-yourselfers, and are fine with working on our own cars. Just don't want to take it for granted that anyone can do.
