Rotora customer service SUCKS!

Look at some StopTech or Endless or Project Mu.

an endless kit would be sweet, but they are so expensive, pure sex on the car though.

My Rotora 8 piston BBK has never made any noise. My two friends with 12 and 8 piston kits have never had any noise either. Maybe others have had different experiences.

+1. Order from a company that knows their own product and won't give you a lot of runaround.

like stated above from mike, you go bbk, you will get high performance pads and almost all squeal, you can't get away from that. solution, the kit you do buy, make sure it can fit other brand's pads. get a set of street pads to replace the high performance pads and that will solve your squealing issue. drawback, you have to spend more money for pads, but you may be able to sell the perf pads online.

Now are you referring to the squealing from another part of the bbk or is it just the pads?

My friends anf I use the H2 pads. They work well and I don't have any noise problems. I got a set for my Brembo calipers to try.
