You can always look for a lip on the edge of the rotor, or better yet, measure the thickness of the rotor yourself...

The new tension spring and clips applied more pressure than what was present on the ones i removed. I have applied light brake pressure as you suggested and the noise still occurred when driving over bumps. Which would suggest that something is still moving with the brakes applied. It was very...

...the XP12s seem to be a better fit than Redstuff/OEM. I drive aggressively and plan on tracking a few times a month. I need an all around brake pads that would be sufficient enough for the track, but also enough for aggressive driving in the streets. I found that the XP12s provide that...

That's a huge price difference... it shouldn't be an issue for me to order these and get an independent shop to do the brake job, right?

If you've never worked on anything it may take you a bit to figure everything out, but it's not super difficult. You shouldn't have to bleed the brakes if you are doing pads and rotors. Only if you're replacing calipers or changing brake fluid. There's a couple vids on YouTube that go over...

My 4 didn't and my 5 doesn't make any noise. You don't hear people on here complaining about it, so I'd say something isn't right. I wonder if they are using the wrong pads/parts? Have you checled the E brake? I'd keep complaining to the dealer, who will probably say that's normal, which I would...

the kit is adding air scoops on the rear, which are just 3 bolts, switching out the front rotor shields for smaller ones that only protect the balljoints, and also just flat out removing the rear shields. I left mine in this config for street driving and have been fine. I don't drive on gravel...

Pretty simple really? I have seen many of fleet GM 1500's get 150-180k plus with original brake pads. It's called driving and lots of it!

I'm assuming brake linings means brake pads and not the lining in brake fluid hoses.

Amazon still Lists Mobil 15W-50. A 5 quart jug is $28 bucks...

...and I was curious to know myself so thanks for asking. I did a quick search and I found out that if you're going to install ceramic brake pads then you will need to make sure that the cast iron rotors are in good condition. It doesn't hurt to get a full ceramic brake pad kit and I've...

I just did this! Its a lot of work. but I'd never tried jacking up the car before. That took awhile to figure out :-/ I wish I'd seen this video prior to selecting Gtechniq C5. We'll see how it holds up.

Pretty sure they install the track cooling bits. They weren't certain when I asked them but the instructors assumed it was installed. I ended up partially installing the track cooling before a track day at Sebring. I swapped the fronts for the smaller shields but could not for the life of me...

Ceramic coated my Tech Bronze when I swapped them out and put em up in storage for future use. They came out fantastic, better than new. When I did the swap out, I also coated my Signature SV302S and those just came out next level nice, like a mirror! Right out of the box to ceramic coat and...

...Price drop, need these gone $800 OBO pickup in Darien, CT. Willing to drive to meet within reasonable distance. Will ship, if needed. * SOLD* Brand new OEM rear brake pads with sensor $300 - will ship if you're willing to pay for shipping too *SOLD* Let me know if you have any questions.

I buy them at RockAuto, typically a lot less and install myself (I don't know of a dealer that will use parts they didn't order even if it's in the same OEM boxes.)

Yea I knew that part but you would think they would have come up w some other fix by now. 2 SS sedans, 2 6th gen Camaros, a C7, a CT5V, an ATS V and only one of those cars had break squeal and when they swapped the pads it was gone. This is terrible and the car only has 15k miles on it. They...

I am a huge Ferodo fan. Not just of the DS2500 but also the DS1.11 and the DSUNO. Those are the 2 other compounds I have tried on the GT350. If you want to go a bit more aggressive on the compound, the DS1.11 are great. Better wear on the track and way less brake dust. No free lunches though...

It will help increase the life of the pads and rotors. I actually did my very first event with the car totally stock (no track alignment, no brake ducts), and while the car still performed quite well, it was starting to chew through the tires and brakes faster than I would have liked/expected. I...

I have them on my 5 bw. I'm satisfied with way less dust and the stopping is pretty damn good. I ran powerstops on my camaros and when I had a 4bw. I'm my opion the DBA pads stop way better than the powestops. I purchased another set of the DBA pads after I installed the first set due to the...
