...which is exactly what I said, right?

Just because you are master fucking mechanic you feel you have to critique everything anyone says? We hold you high ol' mighty one, we bow down before you all knowing..

I forgot everyone doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.

On the other hand, I use Axxis Ultimates(ceramics), they are very nice, tons of stopping power and usable up to almost 1000 deg F but still have an almost instant bite, so I guess you could say they are a good street pad, but they dust like a mofo, come check out my wheels after 2 drives yourself if you want...

yes, i do. cause apparently, i have this very small penis and i must make fun of everyone else to compensate


in nine years of professionally working on cars, and 14 years of doing it for fun, i have only seen one or two cars have a buildup of braking material that would cause a pulsation. just about every time there is a braking pulsation complaint, RTV is going to be the issue. take note he stated that:

which means there is a thickness variation.

Well, speaking from personal experienceas well, buildup has happened to nearly every car I have driven, and a good hard braking will get it off, temporarily..

My old truck, my moms car, my gf's car, my car.. I know several of them had semi-metallic brake pads as well..

enough of this though, the purpose of the thread is dead now.
