Hi everybody Happy Thanksgiving!

Need some help, its time to replace the brakes on the G and I want to make sure i'm getting the correct set up. RockAuto has been brought up many times so I've been doing my research there. Can anybody verify that POWER STOP # KOE4138 package is correct for the Akebono BBKs for the front and rear a little confused when i click more info it just says Power Stop Rotor (2) and again Power Stop Rotor (2) i'm guessing its both the front and rears, but it is a kit and comes with 2 sets of pads for both the front and rear. Can anybody confirm?

blnewt i know you went with the Wilwood upgrade (which look amazing btw) did you just use the centric blank rotors?

I kind of want to do a slotted rotor but i don't track my car and to be honest it just looks cool dont' really need them...

Any other recommendations? My G (haha little plug) is pretty much a daily driver with occasional spirited sprints.

Thanks and again Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Out of time right now but I'll get back to this tonight if you can hang on, or someone else can jump in

 

Appreciate it... Just another thought popped into my head I could always just machine my rotors as well and get new pads... Rotors have never been turned and I'm pretty sure there is a decent amount of life left. Any whos thoughts anybody thanks again.

 

Yep, you could get them machined and I'd go w/ Stoptech Street pads, follow the bed-in on their site and you'll be stopping better than ever! They will dust up more than your OEM pads FWIW.

So I was feeling lazy over the weekend and let my cousin drive my car when we had lunch over the weekend and he pointed out a hum sound as the car slows down. I've never noticed this (had my brakes replaced about a year and a half ago... thanks to the reminder of the thread above :P). with about 10k miles on them since the replacement. (travel for work... don't get to drive my g that much except on the weekend ...)

But, now i can't stop noticing it. Any ideas???? it sounds similar to a generator slowing down very faint and only usually when i get to about 10mph down to completely stopped... now that i'm talking about it sounds like maybe uneven surface on the rotor/pad?

 

Or maybe your tires...wheel bearing?

 

Do you have slotted rotors? That causes a whirring sound as you decelerate.
