Brakes Rubbing????
I just changed my (4) stock rotors to PowerSlot Rotors along with some new pads. This is my problem... I get in my car start it up and drive for about 1 mile, it drives good, all of a sudden once the car is warmed up, I feel that my left front pads are sticking to my rotors, and the it takes a little more effort for the car to move once it comes to a complete stop. I would be at a light and let go if the brakes and the car would be at a complete stop, until i hit the gas for it to move. Once this happens the brake feels really hard.. Any ideas?? Would be greatly appreciated...??

did you bleed the brakes. also try this, it works on chevys...maybe in this situation...don't know, but in a parking lot or somewhere straight go in reverse to like 15 mph. then stop slightly hard on the brakes, and repeat 2 more times. See if this helps

Re: (tegmech)
new pads and rotors will drag somewhat...it might just take some time to get the pads and the rotors mated to each other.....
try doing the reverse thing too.....it's meant for setting the drums up on self-adjusting brakes (which integras do not have) but it couldn't hurt......worked on my old '71 chev....

To brake in breaks:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Carbotech Engineering »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">(1) Brake from 50mph down to 10mph using moderate pedal pressure.
Repeat this process 6 to 8 times in succession.
(2) Cool down the brakes by driving for 10-15 minutes on the highway.
Avoid having to use the brakes during this cool-down period.
(3) Repeat step (1), but use very heavy pedal pressure.
Brakes may fade during this set of braking, so please use caution.
(4) Repeat step (2).
(5) Park the car for 4 to 6 hours after the brakes are cooled down.
Allowing the pads to "rest" overnight is preferred.

It doesn't matter how "long" youve driven on your new brakes, but how many miles.

What brand and compound are they (e.g., Porterfield R4S, Carbotech Panther, Hawk HP+, Axxis Ultimate, etc.)?
