I changed my front and rear pads with hawk ceramics and front rotors brembo blanks. When i was done changing them i noticed that the front pads were coming in to contact with the rotor. I figured this was normal since the car hadn't been driven. Well yesterday i was chaning my oil and i noticed when i spun the wheel it sounds the like the brake pad is barely coming contact with the rotor. The rotors have a lot of grooves in them as well, which is odd because i just did the brake job less than 3 months ago.

So,

The pads shouldn't be coming in contact with the rotor at all when its parked right??

And my rotor should be completely smooth too right??

i need some help.

thanks

the brake pad is always pretty close to the rotor, sometimes can hear it when you are under the car spinning the tire, but i dont know how bad you are talking about..

its not very bad at all, but im **** when it comes to my car and noises. very ****. i hear **** that no one else seems to hear, they think im schizo. lol

My brakes squeal only occasionaly, usually from an abrupt stop.

If you can spin the wheel, then the brakes aren't too tight.

as previous stated, if u can spin it, not too tight..
just out of curiosity, did you get the caliper's piston all the way back in..?

Exeed

And yeah, new pads will squeel when changed, I don't know why, and I don't know how to stop it either, anybody got any input on that matter?

Babakarab

yeah i pushed the caliper all the way back in and the new pads barely fit.


on the another note next time you change the pads spray ANTI SQUEAL its like 6 bucks at autozone on the back of the pads. it helps from squealing.
