Pad deposits...how do i fix this?

[Speedlimits?]

I installed new street pads on my Brembo GT fronts today. Everything was going fine through the first ten brake sessions (60-10, repeat) then after a run to cool them off i started my second run and towards the end started getting vibration out of the front end. I am pretty sure I am dealing with some nasty pad deposits here because under light braking everything is fine. Also the problem seems to get worse with heat. Any way to get around this. They were bedding in great at first but it seems as though i got them a little to hot and have caused some problems. Help !!!

i plan on calling race technologies (who i bought the pads from) tomorrow for recommendations on what to do. They are the west coast distributor for brembo so hopefully they will have some insight other than replace your rotors. I was just hoping that one of you may have a remedy.

I remove pad deposits after each track day with rust. What I do is take a hose when the brakes are cold and spray them until a layer of rust builds up on the rotors. Then get to an open and safe area using the brakes as little as possible. Put the car in reverse and then hit the gas. Get it up to about 25 mph and then squeeze into the ABS. Do this about 3 - 5 times and the reverse rotation of the pad against the rust will clean up your rotors like new.

The trick is to squeeze into the ABS so it engages but do not hammer on the brakes. Also don't let the car stop rolling, let the brakes off just prior.

very interesting ollie, prior to doing this you have vibration on braking? and after it is cured?

anyone else have good insight into pad deposits?

If the rust technique doesn't work for you, try purchasing a flex-hone attachment: http://www.newmantools.com/flexhone/fh4r.htm.
I personally haven't had experience with one, but I know of a couple of people who are happy with them.

i use the flex hone attachment, works fine. when i put new pads on old rotors i always hone them w/ that

The rust thing works. Just douse the brakes and follow his directions.

now that i have a few more people weighing in on the rust technique i think i will give that a try first and foremost.

Absolutely, works 100%. I used to get significant pad deposits on my rotors from my track pads. Not any more. In fact I do this procedure quite every 3rd time I wash the car.

Also my 4Runner can build up deposits as well. Not an issue now that I follow this technique.

Sandpaper also works if you have the wheels of the car :stickoutt

This is what I also do, you won't be able to see a lot of the deposits, so scrub the entire face. However, make sure you use GARNET sandpaper. This is avalable at most hardware stores. If you use regular sandpaper or emory cloth, the aluminum oxide abrasive material will permeate the cast iron surface and make the condition worse.

This rust and reverse deal is definately new to me.

Stoptech instructions on getting them off is using track pads which are very abrasive when its under ideal temp. But this would mean getting a set of extra pads :(
