you JUST changed the pads?
Were the rotors really bad to begin with? Cus if you are doing routine brake replacements you should change rotors and pads at the same time

+1 and you might as well upgrade them to begin with

Make sure u clean the csrriers properly. Any rust build up will interfere with the movemebt of the pads.

The carriers, the metal posts the caliper slides on



You probably should have replace your rotors while you were doing your pads too...

Close, carrier implying caliper bracket, what you have circled are the caliper pins/bolts. This is common if you did a "pad slap" and did not bother to have your discs resurfaced at the minimum, but you'd be much better off replacing them on this car. Believe me...:mad: lol

yea the rear rotor thickness is thin as fuck. might as well replace with rotors, they are like $40 each.

When I did the brakes I went as far as polishing the guides and the pins on the brush wheel, haha. They were smooth as hell
