    Just installed all new Stoptech slotted rotors and PosiQuiet ceramic pads. What do you guys recommend for bedding procedures? The front is cryo treated and the rear are standard.

    Find a nice open road at night to accelerate to about 60 MPH, brake hard to about 10 MPH, and repeat a dozen or so times without coming to a complete stop. Drive around for a while to let the rotors cool off and do this a second time if you can. Don't come to a complete stop if the rotors are hot.

    Did the best break in that I could based on traffic etc. Does the rubbing/scraping noise go away with this setup after driving a few miles while the pads continue to settle in? I didnt make any adjustments to the rear e-brake shoes.

    So after it sitting for about 45 minutes while I was at the store, I drove to pick my son up down the street. It was still making a rubbing noise in the right rear.....sounded almost like a wear sensor. After picking him up, we hit about 60 mph on the way home and it stopped.....no idea what it was.

    Not nearly enough room here!
    Good info here:thumbsup: I have a ways to go yet before needing brakes. I'm at 83,000 miles on factory rotors/pads. My Mechanic says I should go 100,000 before replacing:spending:.

    Now that I'm thinking about it, it could have been rubbing the backplate. Anyone had that issue with the StopTechs on the rear?

    Likely the E-Brake. I wouldn't worry if it doesn't get worse

    I had to remove the powdercoat from part of the inside of the rear rotor hat. Try that and adjusting your e-brake.
