Stoptech

Dreamer99 · 05-05-2018, 09:28 AM

I’m running a stoptech st60/st40 bbk, slotted rotors with their sport pads and the pads are sticking to the rotors. Could just be the rears but I’m not 100% positive. It’s not just the first start in the morning, it also seems to do it when I’m stopped at a light for awhile. I’m going to pull the wheels and see what’s up. Is there anything special I should be looking for?

You the first owner and known mileage /age? Are the pads difficult (a lot of force needed) to take out and put in?

Are you running the Stoptech Sport pads or something else? Several years ago I ran Cool Carbons on then street and after a spirited drive, they would stick to the rotors and leave a halo (pad deposits) that you could feel through the pedal. I ditched the Cool Carbons after a couple months. I have not had the Stoptech Sport pads stick to the rotors although I sometime see a faint halo, but nothing I can feel through the pedal. Also, try letting off the brake once the car has reach a stop (if it is safe to do so).

Edit: Brain fart: it dawned on me that you mentioned the pads you are running.

Pretty new bbk. Was fine at first, then tracked it with some track pads (no issues). The issue has come up since I put the street pads back in. I only did a light bedding with them but might have not cooled the brakes down enough after.

Also, the new pads, stoptech and cobalt were so tight I ended up filing down the backing plates just to be able to get them in and out.
