So i recently upgraded my brakes on my 5.5 and i'm wondering if my wear pattern is normal which i doubt. So i have z32 4 pots w 13'' re-drilled cobra rotors. I was hearing a weird nose from the braking system so i decided to peak around and see what i found. Here are the pics of the pads.


As you can see the brake pad isnt completely sitting on the rotor which causes that lip on my rotor. Also the center section of the brake pad was packed with brake dust which might have been causing my squeeking type noise. Im not sure if this is normal as this is my first 5.5g and my first z32 BBK. Thanks in advance

 

I had the same issue and it was even worse because I had my rotor milled down 3mm. It made a REALLY loud noise. When I reinstall it, I will grind down the break pad a bit before installing.

So from what I have gathered that's normal

 

would it be a smart idea to grind the brake pad down on an angle at the top?Whats odd is that i only get noise from my passenger side and non from the driver side.

 

Mine is the same. Other than my warped rotors, I have no weird noises or anything.

 

I have popping noises, and my pads wear the same.
