BUT, they are currently out of stock for the front Brakes. They had to back-order 1 set for me (I ordered 2 sets and they only had one). Said they should get a shipment around the first of October.

Just bought my front set, thanks for letting me know about.

 

Have had them two weeks...Love no dust but so far hear a noise that grates on my nerves for just a second when coming to a stop...high pitched squeal...didn't have that before and with the top down...like nails on a chalk board...

 

Did you apply "anti-squeal" to the backing plate when you installed them?

 

Did you have the rotors resurfaced before installing the new pads ??

 

I had 5,000 miles on my car when installed and had the rotors cut on advice of this forum. No squeals at all. If I order an '08 at lease end I will have a set of pads at the dealer before I pick up car. Hopefully with 0 miles I won't have to cut the rotors. Any thoughts?

 

I'm not a mechanic, but with a brand new car I can see no value in having the rotors turned. I would just put the new pads on.

 

the "rotors" (edit) will not need to be cut if your car has less than 1,000 miles or so.

 

I wouldn't cut the PADS no matter how many miles I had on the car.

 

I had approximately 2,400 miles on my original pads when I went to the Rotex Golds, and did not turn the rotors; just made sure I had plenty of ant-squeal grease applied, and have had little dust and no squeals to date (3,500 miles)!

I guess I close enough to the 1,000 miles (give or take 1,400) so I guess you could say I was lucky and got away with it?

Hey Guys I have a new set of Rotex Gold pads FF&RR (non SRT) for sell if anyone is interested. Also have NIB set FF&RR drilled & slotted Premium Rotors exposed areas are painted black from factory (Nice). I had bought these right before I traded my Crossfire and never installed.
I paid over $375 + shipping I think. Sell for $300 + shipping (Heavy) Just let me know. Thanks!

 

You don't cut the pads you cut the rotors !!!

 

I know that, look at Andrews post, I was just poking a little fun at him for messing up, I know he meant rotors.

 

~ lol ... yeah yeah ... rotors ... my bad.

 

Rotors were cut I have 24,000 miles.

As for the lube I didn't do the install.

 

Hey are these rotex gold pads still for sale? I sent you a PM and never got a response.
