PBT Special Front & Rear Drilled Slotted Rotors Hawk Pads 269 Shipped
Sorry. I haven't been on the boards all weekend. Personal issues.
Just now saw this and I'll need a few minutes to read through the other thread to get up to speed. I have a few PM's I need to read too.
8a8mfh, I know you don't want to resolve the issue but I will still try. I don't know what's going on yet, I don't know what other members have told you or accused you of but it doesn't really matter. If there is a problem, it can be fixed.

The pads don't seem to have much contact on the rotors on the outer side (side facing wheel)
So I took everything apart and found the pads are very uneven, as you can see in the pic attached the shiney side of the pad touches the rotor the dull side doesn't.
The dull side of the pad is almost 1/8 inch thinner than the shiney part.
Is this normal?
You might be able to see the ring on the rotor is about 3/4 inch if that.
Did I get some defective pads or something?

Heres an update.
I looked over all the parts and researched F-Body specific brake problems.
The conclusion is that my front calipers are spread aka caliper deflection.
Very evident on a new rotor because you can clearly see the contact area, and I suspect this is why the OE rotors needed to be turned so many times under warranty.
So I am going to upgrade to a non F-Body caliper.
The only defective part I got from this deal is one rear brake pad, Hawk HPS.
Harry has been very patient with me and is willing to exchange the set.
I feel the right thing to do is clean up this thread a bit so I'm going to delete a few posts that I made.
And if anyone quoted anything I posted could you please edit it.
