Thread: Brake question

if they are not cut in just glazed i would wash them good, da the old rotors with 80 grit if bad them get them turned wash them good and put a set of perfomance friction carbon pads till you get your new stuff. i like the carbon pads on my chevy .i drive hard

I find that factory type pads stop better & smoother than the harder pads(Thats why the factory uses them), which are made to work for harder than normal driving and need more heat to work as good as stock type pads. as with drilled & sloted rotors are for looks, unless you drive them harder, as in road course, or Nascar driving. You won't get them hot enough for their intended use.

True! But the harder the pad material the easier to glaze, and many people drag their brakes.
