random brake rubbing under 20mph

**Lord4play** · 11-23-2010

question for you guys.

just did a brake job on a very limited budge.... I spent $40 and got rotors and pads. But here is the kicker the rotors where the best they had in stock and the pads are EBC red stuff. Also got the hardware ie clips and boots. the only thing I havent changed out is the bolts on the caliper and the caliper.

the reason the pads were almost new used for 6 months but they turned the rotors before I got the car and messed them up so it vibrated while braking. Also when going under 20 mph there was and still is a random rubbing coming from the brake some times it trips the ABS light.

Do you think its just the bolts that need to be cleaned and or replace or....Do you think its the caliper

if I have to replace the calipers I am going to upgrade to the 12'' from ZZP

please let me know I got a 1300 mile drive coming up in 2 weeks then another 1300 home after a week and a half..

Thanks for your input

That could be a wheel bearing grinding, jack it up and check for play.

if you didn't remove the guide pins and clean and regrease them that could be your problem.

But as nick said, could be a bearing as well.

Rubbing from brakes would sound well like your brakes. Does it sound like that?

are the rotors warped?

**Lord4play** · 11-25-2010

I know the sound is coming from the brakes.
I jacked up the car and checked for play nothing. I did find play in the mirror since I'm Lord4play hahahaha.
didn't clean the pins I was running out of time and I was already out of brake cleaner.
the rotors and pads are brand new the old ones where warped.

This Saturday I'm going to a friends house to work on the brakes and maybe a little exhaust work. I might weld in a glasspack to see if it changes the tone any.
right now running stock exhaust manifolds, no cat, no res, stock mufflers depending on how much money I got left I might put different mufflers on too.

not sure what kind of mufflers
magnaflows
flowmaster 40s
cherrybomb pro or elites maybe the red extremes

I will probably go cheap since I will be replacing it again once I get headers

WHY??

u will get mass drone.

**Lord4play** · 12-01-2010

well the brake problem is fixed. I didn't do anything to the exhaust. I'm just going to leave it till I get the headers then put a full exhaust on till the car is paid off then it gets a top swap

but before the next exhaust upgrade I'm going to retrofit a set of bi-xenon projectors.
a set of Bi-xenon Morimoto Minis I will start a new tread on that once I get them
