There is a hecl of a squel but I was told they have to be broken in. So I'll give it some time.

Nice! Your new setup will be louder than OEM even after braking them in, nature of the beast. I have those rotors on my N/A also .

Does it matter that they are Ceramic?

Not sure if material makes a difference in noise level.......

Cool.
I plan on doing the drilled & slotted when I need new pads.
Just out oif interest I went onto brakeworld.com to see the difference in price on Brembo & Disc Italia, and I noticed they have a brand called 'X-Brake' - anybody know anything about them besides being cheap???

MMZ_TimeLord has some serious brakes and wheels on that SRT6.
CrossfireRoadster, that score mark in the Rotor would bother the H#ll out of me.... not to mention the squeal.
I'd be standing on someone's desk about that.

If the rotors are new they should be smooth as a babys back side.
if they are scored then there may be something in the pads causing extreem wear. The rotors should be looked at, cleaned and possible resurfaced. You may need to replace the pads if they are contaminated. That should take care of the squeal too.
I've got almost 20,000 miles on my Crossfire with the original pads and rotors and they're still smooth as new.

Re: Disc Italia rotors and Pads Installed
I just took pictures of all four rotors. Does it matter that the rotors are nickel coated and the pads are ceramic. I just took it for a ride and the don't squell everytime. Not sure if that matters either. It is possible the garage put them on wrong?
