Guys,

I cant figure this out.

I replaced my front rotors and pads.. Stoptech 355mm Slotted rotors, and Hawk street pads.

anyway.. the brakes work great. i broke them in properly (2 rounds of ten 80-10mph runs)


heres the problem. when i am driving around, and the brakes arent applied, they make a clicking sound. it almost sounds as if the brake pad is shifting at a particular spot of the rotor.

we took the pads out, we put grease, we swapped the pads around.


the second i apply the brakes, the clicking sound dissapears.



what are your thoughts ?
my rotors are "floating". should i have the bolts tightened and essentially have a non floating rotor ?

 

Steve, Floating rotors will make that noise. If you do not like it then you should have used a street friendly rotor that has spring clips that put just enuff pressure to stop the noise but allow the rotor to float.

 

Tim. This is the street "st-60" kit. I've had them on the car since day 1. They've never made this noise before. Do you think the culprit is the rotor or the pad ?

 

The spring clips on the bolts that hold the rotor to the hat.

 

Steve the ST-60 is the caliper not the rotor.
