Brake Woes...
SO, getting tired of this shit...
i rarely post help threads, i usually try to get shit done myself to avoid asking for help, which in turn, leads to high end questions for the likes of Dan, Epstein, etc etc, but this i think is fairly simple...
so here goes....
as some of you know, i just installed some Nismo rotors and Hawk HPS pads on the front of the skyline (waiting on Brembo rotors for the rear, already have the pads for em tho)... and I'm having problems...
during normal daily driving, they're fine and dandy... then as soon as i encounter some, let's say, spirited driving which requires hard braking, they start to squeal like a stuck pig....
and not like some little screech, but i'm talking like you hear be 'fore you see me kinda shit.... like all the way down to .5 km/h shit, annoying as fuck at lights/stop signs...
then after some normal driving (like 50km's+), it goes away...
hard braking again, they get all loud again...
love the stopping power, but damn that racket!!!!!
so what gives? i properly seated the pads, i know how to install brakes, so it's not some noob boner move...
i was told heat cycling might help, then i asked my g/f's uncle about it, he said he had a similar set up on his Hemi Ram (brembo xdrilled rotors, Hawk HPS pads), that he drives the piss out of (pretty cool for an older gent), and he said that he heat cycled his brakes, but the noise kept coming back... he said he eventually got tired of the racket and swapped out pads for some upgraded stock pads...
i haven't heat cycled mine yet, but will probably try today, but if this is going to be a reoccurring issue, i'll prob just rock some EBC Green Stuffs or some shit...
just kinda worried that once i get my rear Brembo's, and put these pads on that i've been sitting on for 10 months, that those might start squealing as well, creating a much embarrassing car when coming to a stop...
thanks!
