question about spoon calipers
i tired to search...
aight.. cuz the caliper doesn't have anything to to hold the pads , so it's kind of like floating around between rotor and caliper.
when i drive a bit and the pad or the rotor warm up, it start making like a high vibration noise when i brake, like the "gi..gi." sound, and when i drive in rain, it makes the noise when i just drive it without hit the brake, and feels like the pad sticks on the rotor, just wondering is it normal.. or something wrong there?
the pads are new and used for about 200 miles =\

Re: question about spoon calipers (yellow blur)
Hawk pads i think, and there's nothing to hold the pads b4 i know about the tab thing, so basically those pads are floating around between rotor and the caliper and it might stick on the rotor even without hit the brake.
