Drilled, Slotted Brake Noises
I've recently installed a set of SPUGEN drilled/slotted rotors. The install was pretty straightforward and I had no problems removing the OEM rotors and swapping the plated and drilled SPUGENs. I've noticed slight "clicking/whooshing" sound when braking. The noise has lessened as more miles are put on the rotors (approximately 1000 miles). Is this a normal sound, or is something else going on?

I also installed slotted and drilled rotors with stock pads. I got the same noice you are describing, I still do. Some say it's the gases from the braking when the pads come in contact with the rotors.???

I was thinking that I should have changed the pads, but the car had only 9000 miles on it. It was a lot noiser at first but as the coating got scubbed off, the sounds got less and less. It's still there, but just barely. You think pads would make a difference? I had installed a drilled set on my 1988 RX-7, with new pads (they really needed to be replaced) and don't remember any sounds...
