Oh, this is just perfect.
So I just put brand new OEM rotors and 100 series pads on the wife's LX. Been driving it the last week to make sure everything is working properly. I have been driving it gingerly for the most part, but did a couple of hard stops the first night I put it back on the road. Maybe three stops from about 50mph down to 15mph, but did not drag the brakes as described in the link provided by corsair23. The brakes seem to be stopping much more positively than with the old set up. Is it too late for me to do a break in on the new pads/rotors? I've put about 150 miles on them thus far. Sorry for the hijack, but I felt it was pertinent.
Thanks.
