Need new rotors for DD and track use
 
I have Project Mu HC+800 pads and stock rotors. My brakes sequel and I can hear the pad catching on the rotor which leads me to think my rotors might have gotten warped. Thus I have 2 option here:

Option 1: buy some nice blanks from speed factory and get some decent but quiet and low dusting street pads. Then get some nice slotted rotors from DBA and use my project Mu pads

Option 2: Buy new Slotted DBA rotors and keep my project Mu pads and use a daily combo street/track. I plan to goto the track about 6-8 events next season and 1 this year.

Don't buy new rotors and burnish your pads again. That should get rid of the squeal and the (what I think may be) uneven deposits on your rotors.

How to burnish brake pads:

Why your hybrid / semi-metallic pads squeal:

You can run race or hybrid pads on the street without squeal, but keeping a nice transfer layer takes constant care and attention. I track my FR-S every other week, and I manage to keep both PMU Club Racer and 999 bedded in..

If you end up buying new rotors and need fast shipping, Amazon Prime carries [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Centric-Parts-120-47021-Premium-E-Coating/dp/B000IY4A0Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413521766&sr=8-1&keywords=centric+rotors+frs"]Centric blanks[/ame].


For 6-8 track day per year, I would probably run different pads on the street.

Use your OEM pads for the street. Free fix :thumbsup:, although you may find the lack of bite disturbing
