Breaking prob!! Slotted/Dimpled

I just got my new front pair of Brembo Slotted/dimpled rotors changed in the front. while i was at that i also changed my break pads. those are Axxis Metal MAster pads. now the car seem to make a strange sound when its moving.......it sounds like there is something touching the rotors....its hard to discribe the sound...anyone ever have those combination? Axxis front Pad+ Brembo Slotted/dimepled rotor.

the pads are touching the rotors....but seriously, the sound is probably air going into the slots and dimples.

Just take everything back apart and look at the rotors. If something is rubbing them that isnt supposed to be you will see it.

Since you have new rotors and pads, did you do the bedding-in process? Sounds like the problem.

Make sure you torque the bolts to spec and not Gorilla tighten them.

There is also a more commonly occurring problem of performance brake pads eating away at the brembo rotors too. You are best off using OEM pads or the Deluxe pads

its probably the pads pulsating off the holes and making a whirring sound.
