Found a reliable mechanic who did a great job and installed my Rotex pads. He charged me $45.00, and he inspected all the fluids, inspected the rotors and there is no squeaking.

Hopefully, the brake dust is a thing of the past, or at least most of it!

 

That's good to hear...you'll notice a difference in dust, that is for sure!
I could tell a difference after one day (about 70 miles round trip to work).

 

Congratulations!

Now... BEGON YON DUST!

 

that's great news !!!

finally ... i can congratulate you... and welcome you to a dust free world.

 

Its about time, right???

Congrats! I know that was a huge burden to be dealing with, but alas, its come to an end...

 

At last. It had to happen sooner or later. Now I have to go and order my set.

 

are these better than the srt ones? performance wise?

Btw Congratz

 

I couldn't tell a difference in performance, and I run mine hard out on my twisty back roads in the corn fields...three 90 degree turns about 1/8 mile apart and a nice 45 degree after that, then a stop sign about 1/8 mile down the road...I get no fade at all, and no dust either!

 

Glad you found someone to do it.
You just needed to find the right person.
$45 is a good deal.
Enjoy.

 

well the no dust is the improvement... i guess as long as they don't hurt the performance...

 

Brakes feel fine. I have yet to test the "dust" or lack thereof. I was in Vegas for the weekend and didn't drive the car until the AM, today, Monday. I will have to do a thorough inspection once I get home tonight.

Viva Las Vegas...

 

Did you do the front and rear breaks, or just fronts?

I did only the front brake pads. The rear are not bad and throw off very little dust...

 

yes, but it like pain, if some one sticks you in one hand with a pin and smashes your thumb on the other with a hammer, you don't feel the pin *****. Now you will notice the dust on the rear. they give off just as much dust but the fronts do most of the work so the rear dust is less. i replaced all four and haven't regretted a bit. anybody want to buy oem brake pads for 4 wheels with only 400 miles of use on them?

 

Yes, that is probably true, but I am not bothered by cleaning the rear as it's not a daily job by any means. The front got so bad I could barely see the rims if I didn't manually remove the black dust every few days. Haven't had to do that with the rear between washings.

 

I just got the brakes they sure make a difference

 

Hi GG: I am in Lake Oswego and am looking for a good mechanic and eventually Rotex pads for my 06 Roadster. Can you tell me who you had work on your brakes ? Tony

 

Hi,

My wife has a 2005 Roadster in black and the dust is a complete pain.

Can someone please give me the part number for the front and rear Rotex pads so I can tack them down in the UK.

Cheers,

Alan.
