Stoptech pads and rotors

Just installed new rotors and pads from stoptech. Its been making vibrating noise when i press the brake slighty going to a slow full stop. Sort of feels sticky. Any solutions? I had it on for four days. It started ever since i put the pads on.

Did you properly bed in the pads after installation? If not then do that asap. Also make sure your lug nuts are all tight.

Are they slotted or drilled/slotted?

i told my girlfriend to do it because we went to go pick up the G with my girlfriends car, so we dont have to take the taxi. i told my girl what to do.. so maybe she messed it up? anyway i did it again today. 3 - 35mph to 5mph with moderate braking. 3 - 45 mph to 5mph with moderate braking and parked my car. So, i hope it works out.

Its still vibrates/stutters like braking after getting a carwash. I did the bed in process. Any more solutions?

I know every case is different, but after i did my pads and rotors i had that happen also even after bed it. I ended up just changing the shims and cleaned/greased the sliding pins and it went away.

I went with cheap brake grease that was like $8, when it comes to the pins its easier if you look at the service manual. Im at work so later i can put up a pic of it with the pins circled unless someone else does. I dont remember if i got it on her or the nico forum, but it is posted and really helps.

In order to replace the shims, i have to take out the pads?

Take a look at what I just put up, but yes the pads come out for a moment. I think I did this to both front brakes in 30-45 minutes. If you changed the pads and rotors this is the same steps but less since you dont need to take the whole caliper off.
