hey guys. i have a crx that i'm trying to prepare for a track day next month. i got some brand new rotors and some new Hawk HP+ pads and installed them the other day at the same time. i went through the procedure of bedding the pads...but i may not have let them cool enough between stops.

the problem is that the pads constantly sound like theyre dragging on the rotors on both sides...but when i stop the car..i can push it easily.so it can't be that bad. i'm just wondering why theyre being so noisy when i don't even have my foot down on the pedal. i figured it would go away by now..but its been close to 50 miles already and it's not getting any better.

 

those pads are noisy they might even squeal

 

yeah..they definitely squeal..and i expected that. but they are noisy even when i'm NOT pressing the brakes. they sound like they're dragging all the time.

 

ok...nevermind. i figured it out. it was the dust shields! the new rotors were a lot thicker than my old ones i guess. so they were rubbing. i took em off...now everything's smooth as glass. pads arent even sqeaky!
