lol gotcha. Ok so if I have the vibration now with current pads, simply swapping them out and bedding properly will not work the greatest? I should get them machined down (Not by a 19 year old) and then bed them properly with new pads. Or just bed them with current rotors untouched?
You have to machine the rotors or replace them. If not you just wasted a bunch of time.
If you want a pad that will work pretty much no matter what you do, get Carbotech AX6's. They dust a bit but have good cold bite and will work to the point which few will ever reach on non R-compound tires. Titanium backing plates are a good idea to help to not melt the dust boots when playing hard.

Ok I will make sure to get the rotors machined. I ordered Carbotech bobcats (ordered before I saw that post), I Don't suspect I will be doing a lot of heavy track use until I get everything together on the car. I would like to just get everything in working order before I really start beating on it.
I decided to just get some new Carbotech slotted rotors along with the pads and SS lines. Again, I'll keep the thread updated as I get things together. Thanks for all the help!
Edit: scratch that got the AX6 pads instead. Also the guy I spoke with at IPS told me Carbotech pre-beds the pads/rotors now (as of 6ish months ago) Good idea to do it anyways?

You'll be happy with the AX6 and the Carbotech rotors. I had un-slotted Carbotech rotors and they were fantastic.
Yes, it's a good idea to bed the pads/rotors still. Plus you'll get a feel for your new brakes![]()

I would still bed them in to be sure![]()
Great thanks for the input guys! Going to get the other set of rotors machined down just in case but hopefully this will be the end of this trouble![]()
I hope so, I'll have my fingers crossed. Keep us updated either way.
