That should have done it Dave.... Could it be the different pads front and rear??? I've ran with different pads on each end, but maybe there's something in their stopping power that effects their compatibility on the car???? Are they getting any better as you put more miles on them, or just staying the same?

Yeah, Dave, they are starting to get a bit better. I may run through the break in procedure one more time. I'm going to be out of town for a week (with the laptop) so it will be on hold until next weekend. It's not that the brakes don't work fairly well, it's that I think they could be better for the level of quality.

Dave i seem to remember they need heavy stops to bed in, light stops just glaze them.

Since we aren't going away for another day or so (my wife has a stomach bug) I'll again run through the break (brake?) in procedure.

As far as NPT thread leaks yeah, I know what the 'book' says. But I also know that every plumbing supply shop has big bins of tape and compound. Then my own hot water home heating system.........
