very good braking(with stock rotors) but a shit load of dust,why?

 

go easy on them for awhile, as for the dust, they shouldnt have much more than the stock pads. they are the least dust producing pad of all the pads and the axxis are the worst

 

I put on the EBC and powerslot rotors about 700 miles ago. Not noticing much dust but I do have a high pitched squeak with light brake pressure, and I even installed them with the antisqueal pads I ordered directly from EBC so I am stumped

 

I go real easy on them,they produce alot of dust and squeal like a bitch.

 

People said the squeal is if you didnt resurface the rotors before putting on new pads. I've only read...

 

i did not resurface cause the mechanic told me they don't need too.

 

you should always have it done when putting a new pad on.

 

That can't be so because I put new rotors on at the same time. Besides, I even called EBC's 800# and got antisqueal shims mailed to me in advance before I even installed the pads. I had read somewhere that if you call them they will send them to you, which they did, and I did this specifically because I didnt want to deal with squealing. I had read that some people had squealing so I thought I'd be prepared in advance. For what its worth, the braking is great with the EBC/powerslot combo. Now if only I didnt have the squeal. Its bearable because its only present at very light braking, and once you press harder the squeal goes away.

 

Did you bed in the brakes?

 

i think he's in this stage.. i'm pretty sure they'll go away..

i'm still waiting for my rotora rotors to order these and intall them

 

Yeah I bedded the pads/rotors per stoptech.com's info...

 

Did you order them off streetbeatcustoms? I oroginally wanted those but they were backordered at least 30 days so I took the powerslots instead.

 

what is "to bed in"?

 

streetbeatcustoms do not have them in stock? i just placed an order with them though i got the ebc green stuff from ajusa.com

going to put this setup on the cl, see how different they are then the rotora/akebono setup i have on the tl.

 

get your rotors resurfaced, it might help...


mine dont squeal at all and produce very little to no dust!
