well theres still a good amount left on the pad so that leads me not to believe they are worn out yet. theres roughtly 4-5 mm left on the pads.
so i can resurface my brembos? im just a little skeptical with all the opinions about brembo rotors getting resurfaced. i think the last owner changed the pads and not the rotors. i believe thats why my brakes make squeaks under high heat. possible glaze on the rotors?
thanks.

what do you mean by "turn"... just turning the rotor so the other side is used instead of the current side? lol what if the other side of the rotor is jacked up? then it wouldnt be such a good idea would it?

I had brake squeal on the stock pads, and then fitted endless CCR and it stayed the same. So after a few weeks of it driving me mad, I decided to go back to my old ways of de squealing brakes as mine were squealing front and rear.
Copper grease on both sides of the shims, on the parts of the springs that touch the pads and pins, and the pins themselves. I am very suspect of the sides of the springs that touch the center of the pads, they were very shiney. Job took about 45 mins. I have the Brembos.
No more squealing brakes. Happy days

actually.............squealing did keep returning eventually, especially after track days.
Now have DBA grooved discs and EBC yellow stuff pads (keeps the price down), no copper grease and no squealing after track days or any type of weather.

Holy bump Batman!!!
All those who have subscribed, please chime in.
I have a Stoptech BBK 4pot front and rear on my g35 and the brakes are squealing like crazy.
I have Axxis Ult up front and Textar in the rear. I called Stoptech like many of you have and they have diagnosed my problem down to the pad material.
The guy I talked to at Stoptech recommend the 105 series of Posi Quiet pads (ceramic series). However after reading the reviews here, many of you guys have went with the Posi quiet 104 series (semi-metallic)
I believe the sound is only coming from the rear but I was recommended by the Stoptech guy to change the front as well. My car is a show/ daily driven car and it's driving me mad. At first I put up with it but having my parents in the car with the music on low rendered me to find a different solution.
Should I only change the rear or do both front and back? Is the 105 series good to use or try the 104. The 104 doesn't even show up on Stoptechreplacementparts.com
Thank you!!

bump. It seems I'm running into another problem as the 4pot caliper in the rear on the stoptech kit is model number st-45 instead of st-40 which supposedly not compatible with all pads..... Can anyone chime in please

lol yes I did. Very informative. Thanks for your commitment and info.
I created the other thread here and g35driver.com for those experiencing a problem with the st-45 caliper. However I feel your thread is helpful as well and I'm going through the same commotion you went through.
