    Rear Brakes

    What do you guys use for rear brakes?

    I wanted to get the powerslot cryo rotors for the rear but they are having production problems. So, I was thinking the DBA slotted which are around $131 a piece plus Hawk HPS pads which I will be using in the front also.

    I just started having this grinding sound today when I am moving extremely slow and it is coming from the rear but I can't see anything rubbing and it looks like I have plenty of pad material left but it was hard to see. I haven't done pads or rotors in at least 3 - 4 years (since my maintenance warranty ran out, I think 04, but maybe 05). Is there anything else in the rear than grinds but only at really slow speeds. When I start to go over 10 - 15mph the sound is gone.

    A lot of different ones. I ma a huge fuente fan. I have tons of the Fuente God of Fire cigars. I love Fuente Hemingways. They are AWESOME! I have been buying Gurkhas recently. I have a shipment of the Titans, Beauty's, etc... coming in. I also have some Nubs on the way. I've wanted to try them. Let's just say that I have A LOT on the way. To many to mention. I'm also a Partagas fan. I have 5 humidors right now that are FULL. I don't know where I am going to put all of these new ones.

    What do you like and what are you looking to buy?

    Re: Rear Brakes

    OK, I took a look my my brakes. The rear passenger side is the problem I think. Where you are supposed to have the groove above and below where the pad contacts, the groove is GONE on the top. What do you think? Maybe a stuck caliper or is that normal when they need to be replaced?

    when you factor in the cost of new rotors, its not a big cost.

    Which rear upgrade do you recommend?

    Also, I don't have upgraded fronts.
