S and p racing brakes Options

[Marsstar505]

I bought some s&p brand brakes from andysautosport for $700. They are horrible. The price way way to high and I coulnt tell a difference in the braking. And now the brake pads squeak I have resurfaced the pads I think 3 times and the squeak will go away for about 50 miles and then come back. I have tried different grease and anti squeak items to back of the pads and no luck. Also after driving about 6000 miles the rotors where all ready warped and give terrible brake shimmy over 60mph.

My conclusion is don't buy them they stop as well as stock and add problems.

you should post more information on what you actually purchased.
did you buy calipers or just pads and rotors?

depending on the pad material, more aggressive pads have a different material composition than stock pads and are known to squeal occasionally.

As for the braking, you may not have bed in the brakes to the rotors, that might have caused your faulty braking.

The above link describes brake vibration, but Ive been told that improper bedding can cause a lack of braking performance out of the pads in general also

I bought just semi metallic pads and drilled and slotted rotors front and back (sorry I know for next time). And I followed the brake in prodcedures to the tee. Ya I've seen factory performance brakes on fords that weren't broken in right and it changed a lot on the braking, however once they brake in naturally they were great. I was just saying don't waste the money on them.

Sorry to say, but it's been known for a long time not to buy pretty much anything from andysautosport...
