p.s... i also had grooves in my rotors from hawk hps pads.. they were brand new brembo rotors |
I just replaced all 4 corners with the Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads last weekend, I reused all stock Nissan pad shims and I have had zero noise/squeals from the start. I also used a generous amount of the red goo that came with the Hawk pads, been very satisfied with the results and how quiet they are.
