Disturbing is the perfect word - if this would have separated during heavy braking, I probably would be needing a lot of brake and suspension parts...maybe even front end parts altered by the car in front of me.
The good thing about this is that I don't have to listen to the brakes squealing constantly any more! And I was able to show my wife that I wasn't crazy for changing out brake pads that "didn't need to be changed"! (She thinks I'm obsessed or something - go figure
)
Well I just put 150 on my ride today with the new RG's and not a problem. I am glad that I changes my stockers because the dust was unbearable not to mention them falling apart!
Thanks for sharing cuz I thought I was the only one. Others may need to do the RG change and may find the same problem! Surprised no one has had a failure yet!
BTW I found the best RG prices on:
Rotex Gold Brake Pads: ImportPerformance.com
Only 56 beans! Not bad for $90 pads.
