For track, you need track pads with high metal content and boy, those will be damn noisy for sure. |

I don’t care. I like gold. I gotta upload a pic of my brakes on another thread I started about just that issue. Thanks for reminding me. Idk why that one wheel started being so loud, but it is literally school bus sound, to a T. Loud as hell. |

15,400 miles, mine make no noise. I’m what you call a late braker though. I also make sure I get down there and clean the rotors and brakes. Probably the one thing people either forget to do, or just don’t do it.

You take them apart and clean them or you hit them with a hose or something? |

I’m using brushes and soap and getting behind the spokes and cleaning the face of the caliper area. Brushing the rotor as much as I can. Making sure the drilled rotor holes are cleaned out.

No matter what you do, you aren't touching the rear face of the rotor thats covered by the dust shield. I am going to guess you haven't heavily heatcycled your brake pads (repeated hard track use) and haven't had a lot of material transfer to the rotors. That way you're less likely to have them make any sounds. If your rotor face is mirror-clean, it stays virtually squeak-free on soft stock pads. |

Yep, nice and clean, compare to mine, similar mileage as yours but a third of them on track. Still, they don't squeal under normal circumstances on stock pads.
Also, just realized something strange, are US spec rotors different than EU? Your rotor min weight is 100 gramm ligher than mine. Interesting... p.s. also, your wear indicators look brand new, I bet you can't even feel the difference when you rub them with a finger they feel exactly like the surrounding surface. Mine definitely feel like different texture. Not pitting, no cavities, but definitely not as smooth as the rears, for example. Last edited by beamlord; 08-02-2023 at 04:39 AM.. |

I would have never thought that the rotor weight would be different? Maybe EU is a TÜV thing? No idea. Interesting, though. And I’m sure yours are a little rougher with some track days behind them. My mileage is all highway, with a few light canyon runs. I’ve got them smelling a few times. And I’ve gotten the tires hot enough to sling strings of rubber onto the side doors.

Ill have to take a look next time I get down in there. I only remove my wheels to remove the bumper, or something like that. For me, they are really touchy at lower speeds, even highway. But, over 100-120, the pedal is pretty long. It feels like theyre glazed. But, after the first hit, they are solid. I hear the Endless RF-650 brake fluid makes them a world of difference.

And make some pics with a flash on. Yes judging by your discs, they don't have enough pad material transfer. If you do a proper bedding in, it does make a big difference in the initial bite, both cold and hot. If you're interested I can share exact procedure that worked very well for me, tested several times. Race brake fluid wouldn't affect that, it's just more heat resistant but wouldn't make much difference with your driving style. |
