My pal, Dave Z! What a great guy. Fountain of knowledge and a Stoptech dealer and developer as well.
Many people mistake a pad problem for a rotor problem. Be sure and read these papers thoroughly as there are detailed instructions.
I have cured a lot of brake issues with a simple bedding that used to mean disassembly and new parts.
+2. I use cheap no name brakes on my cars, never have a problem. have some Canadian no-name pads and drilled rotors on my Mazda5 I bought on ebay, no issues, no so-called 'warping', excellent performance. I put some cheap ebay brakes on the front of my camry also, no issues.
OTOH, my carpool buddy had a shop do his front brakes this past year, and he now has a severe shuddering problem, the car is almost undrivable.
I fully support the need to bed in brakes properly, along with a careful install of the anti-squeal spray on the back of the pads, and cleaning and lubing the sliders.
