ok so i'm sure this has been covered but I need help bad. I purchased new a 2005 g35 and have always wanted the factory brembos on my car. after a long search I have found some. yesterday I swaped out my factory set up with the brembos new pads and steel lines and EBC rotors dimpled and slotted. I also changed the fluid with cool blue. my problem is the breaks seem to always be engaged. The noise is constant like there constantly being applied, and there is a large amount of break dust getting all over my brand new Iforged wheels and its driving me nuts!!! i heard that some people have changed the master c. I am thinking this may have something to do with my problem, any help would be awesome!!!

 

is it all corners that are binding or just one ? .. i cant believe its the master cylinder if your brakes were not doing this before

 

make sure your bolts are are properly torqued. See Service manual.

 

seals

 

you think? seals really?? what makes you think that? I am not wanting to get into all that but if I have to that would suck!!

 

when they get dirty/old/hot they can cause the pistons to stick. REAL race calipers a la Wilwoods do not have dust seals- to consistently handle the higher temperatures.

 

During the break-in period for my hawks, the brakes seemed like they were rubbing constantly and there was a ton of dust. Wait a bit.

 

Is it a loud grinding/rubbing? Did you do the install yourself? Make sure you re-used the washers on the two bolts that hold the caliper to the hub.

I remember reading up somewhere that the rears on the OEM Brembos had a sticking problem. A good clean resolved that issue.

 

+2 ......Just changed my brakes yesterday, and its normal to hear the sound of the pads touching the rotor while you drive, but its really only audible at lower speeds.
