I did clean everything thoroughly, but I'm wondering if a scotch brite pad wouldn't have been a better idea at first. I could have roughed up the surface.

I also greased everything up real nice. It moves great, but squeals like mad at the end of a stop. It's embarrassing. My truck does this after it's sat for a bit. I bought heavy duty brakes for it, but I haven't pulled much since. I might give this company a try with the truck too. I like the appearance of the rotors and the idea of ceramics. I can say that I've felt these discs after a few trips. They are never more than just a little warm. My old rotors were generally hot. These shed heat nicely.
