Who cuts brake rotors OFF car nowadays?

If your looking for street pads if you know the pad number you may be able to get NAPA to locate a version of ghier ADO pads. I use a lot on high end cars with brembo application calipers you just need the fmsi pad number or a set of old pads to match up. NOW dont get me wrong these are NOT race pads but the ADO (Adaptive One) use a proprietary dual friction set up, as in the inner pad is more aggressive but outer pad dusts less and neither squeals. ALSO dont forget to use a thin coat of silicone brKe lube on backs of pads and edges where they touch caliper, bra kets or mounts. I would recommend a good glass bead in the mounting area if rusted, then hit an Oreillys as they all have Accuturn one cut lathes. Other choice would be maybe look for a shop with a Pro-Cut or Hunter on car lathe, ex9ensive, yes but much better than other on car setups. And if you are looking at performance pads actually consult Brembo, I am sure they know more about thier products. But EBC, Hawk and Performance Friction all make decent pads but getting best ceramic, or ceramic/ metallic for best stopping but low dusting may take bit of research. Do the brakes have an OEM based application you could reference? For pads numbers basically. Good luck.

I ended up getting them cut at O'reilly Auto parts for $12 a piece, and put on a fresh set of EBC Redstuff with the bedding compound on them. Car just finished the light duty 200 miles and is ready for the bedding procedure (60-10 stops, 5 times in a row, moving cooldown, complete cooldown, repeat 1x). After 1500 miles they should be at full potential.

Now I need to find the fuel delivery problem after the last dyno session.
