I thought break and break didnt mean the same thing

I meant brake!!!!! lolololol....

which witch is which.

This sounds like a good way to do it, I did a little research I came upon this nice white paper at stoptech that describes the break-in period further (toward the bottom): http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/...otors_myth.htm

I found this passage to be particularly interesting: "Other than proper break in, as mentioned above, never leave your foot on the brake pedal after you have used the brakes hard. This is not usually a problem on public roads simply because, under normal conditions, the brakes have time to cool before you bring the car to a stop (unless, like me, you live at the bottom of a long steep hill). In any kind of racing, including autocross and "driving days" it is crucial. Regardless of friction material, clamping the pads to a hot stationary disc will result in material transfer and discernible "brake roughness". What is worse, the pad will leave the telltale imprint or outline on the disc and your sin will be visible to all and sundry."

Ever since the days of not using asbestos there has been brake squeelings. On the EVO that sure is a bunch of metal on metal. Makes me wonder why not look at the squeeling as music to my ears, just as the low rumble of power from the large exhaust.

which literature is this?

really? this is a mighty old thread. if the brakes are squealing, the backs, and all metal to metal surfaces need to be greased. that'll clear up all noise issues. no need to bump a thread for that.

mine have always squeeked a tiny bit but i just upgraded to ceramic pads and they squeek pretty loudly the first 2 stops and after they warm up after this they dont make a single noise

Welcome to evos !! everything on the car makes funny noises at one point or another.

I have hawk pads and mine squeak sometimes and it's realllly annoying but theres not much I can do about it.

I switched to the hawk plus after the brembos went out and i can tell you im properly the noises car in the city when I brake but they stop on a dime

LMFAO 2003.

lol I wonder if anyone still has the pamphlet from 2003.
