So it's my turn, I did the MS3 upgrade in the past weekend and I am a first timer on a brake jobs. Run into some brake noise issue.
Parts involved in the swap.
Front:
MS3 Calipers
Stoptech street pads
Stoptech slotted rotors
Goodridge SS Lines
Rear:
Stoptech street pads
Stoptech slotted rotors
Goodridge SS Lines
Everything is fine on the installation. No surprise and the backing shield plate in the front just fit without problem. Anyway, I did the bed in as per stoptech's suggestion. 2 sets of 10x 60-10 mid to hard braking and cool down after each set. I can smell the brake, not able to see if it's smoking or not coz I did it in the night time. So everything seems fine, called for the day.
The next day I looked at the rotors, I still see some machine marks on them so I think I didn't lay enough transfer layer on the rotor. Head out for 3rd set of bed in procedure. Same as the last 2 set but just do 2-3 stops this time. Nothing really wrong. Still got the same smell and don't see any smoke as I can tell (Did it in the afternoon this time). But then there is a creaking sound developed after that. It creaks whenever I step on the brakes, no matter the car is moving or not. It's not the high pitch squeal noise that ppl usually have when the car came to a stop. It just sounds like stepping on some wood floor in an old house or like an old boat. Didn't have a chance to take it apart and look into it yet. I am pretty sure it come from the calipers, both front side and I can feel some part of that noise is coming from the other side of the firewall, the brake booster I assume? But not 100% sure.
So my assumption here is:
The heat from 3rd bed in might just overheated the brake and some of the brake lube just burnt off?
My neighbor helped bleeding the brake while I was cracking the bleeder screws. Is there a change he stepped on the brake too hard that some thing inside the brake booster just bent and I didn't realize in the first 2 runs?
Any other thoughts that I might did something wrong or missed? I am going to take the fronts out, re-lube everything and see what happen. Thanks in advance.
