Default Re: brakes!!!

The noise could be from the make of your brakes, and the compound. If the they are more hi-performance targeted brakes they will be louder until they are used harder and warmed up. Typically not comfortable to listen to as a daily driver. If they are standard brakes then were they broken in properly? I know that rotors can accumulate a "glazing" over them that will create a excessive noise.

I went through a brake issue with my last car doing the same. If the noise continues maybe you could take a minor abrasive pad or paper and "swirl" the rotor and lightly sand it evenly to remove any "glaze"

This is all the information I have collected through my braking frustrations!

I just recently bought my crossfire and the brakes look fine, but I will be replacing the pads and rotors when it gets warmer out!! The brakes create way to much break dust! I can wash my car and not a week later my front rims are gray/black. I do not think I brake that hard! haha


Agreed noisy breaks are annoying!
