People running EBC brakes: Do yours still make noise?
I've had the EBC rotors and green pads on the car for about two months now, and they still make a slight hissing sound when I stop. Is this normal? They seem to stop fine, but I did notice the rotors have little spots on them, too (I thought they would be smooth and shiny by now).
Thanks for the info.

Are the rotors slotted or dimpled/drilled? If so, they will make some noise. If they are "blanks" (no slots/holes, etc) then you will need input from others with those pads (I've not played with them in person).

They will make "whirring" or "buzzing" noises when you stop. That is the nature of the beast. Each dimple or slot makes a slight noise when the pad grabs it and you will hear that happening as a "noise". Good luck!

Sweet, thanks for the feedback (I have the same noise). I am going to hit a road course next month (Gingerman in South haven Michigan) and I just wanted to make sure that there was nothing wrong with them before I abused them. And yes, I am changing pads too.
