SQUEEKY ROTORS FROM BRAKEPERFORMANCE
So earlier in the year i bought rotors from brakeperformance.com and some hawk ceramic brake pads. From day one they squeeked so loud it was embarassing, i contacted hawk, long story short i did everything they asked and they eventually sent me replacement pads (great customer service by the way) I ended up also buying brakeperformance's semi metallic brake pads they advertise those the quietest. So i get my rotors resurfaced, install the brakeperformance pads, and its still squeeks loudly. So onviously by process of elimination its been their crap rotors all along, i contact brakeperformance.com they pretty much say tough sh** unless theyre warped "squeeking is not covered under warranty". They're useless and will never buy from them again, is there anything else someone recommend ido? Im just waisting money at this point

I just installed my dimpled/slotted rotors and pads from Brakeperformance.com and they are great!!! If the brakes are squealing, it sounds like you didn't bed in the pads properly.

i know for a fact that some drilled and slotted rotors will make that kind of noise. Did you put a shit load of lube behind the new pads where the pistons meet the pad? that will cause A LOT of squeal if you don't lube it

I have had the Brake Performance rotors and pads for 2 years without a single squeak. Their products are high quality and work great when installed properly. The pads need to be greased and burnished in for quiet operation.
