couple of quick questions, im not understanding sanding the contact points to verify they were safe???? you should not sand these rotors or pads as they are race prepped from Centric and pads have already been scorched...can you grab me a picture of the brake dust your seeing? Also of what you were sanding? Also did you happen to clean your brake calipers and the inside of your wheels as they produce lots of brake dust build up on those and will come lose and stick in water. clunking noise issue is mechanical related as brake and a pad would not make that kind of sound when installed correctly. I have posted pics of the way I would mount them...let try and figure this out as it seams there are alot of issues that you are having with these brakes when you shouldn't....Also on thing to ::note:: if your seeing black brake dust you are not seeing the ceramic brake pad dust as ceramic pads leave a really lite color film vs black. Hope this helps

I'm getting a considerable amount of brake dust with these pads and Valk mentioned the slot can run either direction.
Please understand that not everyone is as knowledgeable as everyone else, which is a nice way of me telling you to keep your sarcastic comments to yourself.
I'm a 51 year old female and have never installed brakes let alone rotors. That I did any of this is good let alone twice. I couldn't understand a clunking noise problem and disassembled them the second time to sand the contact points and verify they were safe.
So anyway, is this correct? It would make sense that there would be a R/L. That the slot is "cutting" with or against the pad.
