When rolling foward if i apply the brakes pretty firmly, nothing to hard, i hear this loud click that seems to be coming from the passenger rear brake. Almost like the pads grabbing down on the rotor, or the clunk noise a transmission makes when being put into gear sometimes.

Ive never heard it before, is this normal, what does it mean.

My brakes are brembo's btw

 

Is it a continuous click? That's what I have. I've been told my rear rotors need to be changed.

 

its not continuous, only when the brakes are applied, it also makes this noise on bumps, i always thought it was my suspension but its like my pads are banging around or something

 

warped rotor

 

that makes sense, i should replace all four right?

Damn brembo's

how long should the rotors usually last?

 

is getting warped rotors cut a good idea???

rotors are exspensive...

 

That's what I meant. A constant clicking sound when you apply the brakes. Definitely your rotors. If they are warped, you need to replace them.

 

sounds like a metallic "clap"? it's nothing. It's just your pad clapping onto the rotor.

 

its actually the front, not the rear....

but thats nothing??? I need to change my pads theyre worn anyways..

 

change your pads first, and then go from there

 

i ordered hawk hps pads friday, would it be ok to have the rotors cut???

 

It's recomended that you get your rotors cut (within tolerences) or replace them entirely.

 

it would be the first time theyre getting cut so im assuming it would be fine, i just read somewhere that ppl dont recommend cutting them at all...

 

There should be no guessing involved with brake jobs. If the rotors are smooth (not scored) perform a thickness check and a runout check using the appropriate gauges.

If they are too warn already, you cannot have them turned. If the runout is excessive (warped rotors), they could perhaps be turned with an on-wheel lathe.

If the thickness and runout are OK, then just replace the pads and do a careful and thorough bedding in.
