Okay, so my gf's dad and I spend the afternoon today doing the brakes, and brake lines. All was well, until I went out for a test drive. I instantly felt a katunk katunk when I pressed on the brakes... At first, I thought it might have been a loose wheel, so I went back immediately (note, by the time I got to the garage, my brakes were SMOKING! (traveled 2 blocks to make a u turn)) and tighted the right front wheel (where I felt it was coming from). But before I tightened it, I took it off and took a look inside...nothing out of place, everything was tight and snug. Took it out again, same thing. So, i decided to take off the wheel again and have a even closer look. Upon turning the rotor, I noticed a slight wave in the rotor(potato chips anybody?). I thought that was weird. At this point, I was convinced it was the rotor and decided to quickly swap the left front with the right front. When comparing the two, it looked as if the pad on the problem was was "skipping", for lack of better terms. The left front one had nice even wear marks from the pads. Swapped them, test drove...now it feels like its coming from the left.


So, in conclusion, this TOTALLY SUCKS. Angry Angry

BMA better send me a replacement rotor asap.

Should I also request replacement Hawk Performance ceramic pads? (which is what I choose to put in and have in right now) Since, technically, new rotors are suppose to be used with used pads.

BTW: Hawk Performance pads are LOUD. hehe.
