About that brake squeal I just got my new Rotors in, no more OEM front Rotors and guess what? No more brake squeal! and I have Hawk HP+ pads on all 4.
OEM

New Rotors
I just put them on today. I'm so happy with them :)


Any freshly-machined rotor will be far less likely to squeal because the machine marks alter the stick-slip behavior (stiction) and change the vibrational frequency. You can prove it to yourself by sandpapering the hell out of any currently-squealing brake rotors you may have. Fresh pads, likewise, will have a "rough" surface. It's when both of these surfaces become polished, or "glazed" that squealing can be a problem.

So.... you may still need to bed them in. Or, possibly they'll be fine regardless. Time will tell.

you can't stand brake squeal and you put on HP+ pads which are more track oriented then street and which are known to squeal like banshees... :uhh:
