Need Help fast with brake install
Just did my front brakes with Axxiss pads and slotted/cross-drilled brembo rotors. Drove around the block and got back, weird noise which i'm not sure is because i did something wrong or it needs to break in. from a dead stop it seems like the brake pad is making noise when i go slow and have the brake slightly depressed (real light) but goes away when I release the brake. Is this because the pads and rotors have to break in or am did i mess up. didn't make this noise before with my old warped oem rotors and pads.
any help would be good. i've never done this before on an acure. done it plenty of times on my old cobra. thanks for the help.

phew i was a bit worried. i am quite happy with the combo. took forever to get the caliper bolts off. got some nice skinned knuckles to show for it. about to do the rears.
anybody have tips on the rear pads? i've been trying to figure it out because i could never do them myself on my cobra.
thanks for the quick response.

The caliper bolts on my '01 cls were no fun! I had to use a two foot pry bar!
Spray the bolts with liquid wrench or something similar and let set for a few hours. Other than that the brakes are pretty straight forward.
