Oh, haha. Yeah, I did read that it takes a few hundred miles for the resin to properly cure and the break-in process to be completely done. After that, the brakes may become even more effective. I'm curious to see about brake dust with these new pads and rotors. My car is currently dirty and the wh...
Yeah I've done that before. Did it on my sx4. I wasn't trying to save the rotors this time around so I just smacked them. I always put some grease on the hub before reinstalling the rotor. The factory doesn't do this (obviously). Just a little coating. If you do this, the rotors will come right off ...

The main reason I overhauled the brakes was because my rotors were warped. The OE rotors also had some co...

It's an easy job. Take your time and do it right. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk When I was younger I ...
