Subject: Im having problems with my brakes IP: Logged
Message: I was wondering if someone could help me out on this. I purchased a set of powerslot rotors about 5 months ago from ebay. I installed them and put on a set of raybestos ceramic brake pads. Everything was fine until I noticed popping noise when i turned. 4 and half months later I check them out and they are all cracked bigtime. I decide to purchase a pair of EBC greenstuff pads that are made for powerslot and drilled rotors. I installed them and wound up having trouble stopping Also the pads smelled like they were burning heavily. After that I replaced driver side and pasenger side calipers, put a new set of EBC pads and still it was burning and hard to stop. Finnally I decided to try the raybestos again. They stop fine except when I come to a heavy stop I can smell the pads burnning. The only thing I havent done is replaced the rotors. They look to be in ok shape but I dunno anymore. I have done three pad changes and have changed both calipers in this past week. Someone please give an opinion or two. Thanks
BTW I have a 2001 3.9 regular cab dakota

Message: If you have changed three sets of pads in a week, you aren't giving them enough time to properly seat. That's why you can't stop very well. Give them a little more time, and they will grab better.

Message: you didn't mention if you changed the rotors or not? with the cracks, that's the first thing to do. try just the slotted rotors. and like J-man said, it takes a little time for the new pads to seat.
