I was also going to ask about break-in procedure on the pads, if any was use. generally ..I advise......don't baby or over-use the brakes the first 500 miles or so .. but do use them medium hard now and then .intentionally. some brake pads even come with break-in instructions. it's a fairly significant factor. scott On 9/12/2013 2:04 PM, KLAL wrote: > Update: > GoWesty offered to replace the rotors at no charge.
