Please Help,
About a month ago my cousin (Honda Mechanic) installed my Magnum Cross Drilled Rotors, PBR Pads and Goodridge SS braided lines. Right off the bad the pedal felt a bit spongy and it didnt seem like there was not much stopping power for brand new rotors and pads not to mention top of the line SS lines, but I waited it out because I knew that there was a breaking in period and the rotors are plated in cadmium. Then I noticed that my car was pulling to the left a bit while highway driving. Now I notice that they squeal like crazy (like a truck or bus at times) When I'm coming to a slow stop they squeal until I'm fully stopped. If I brake hard they dont squeal. Also sometimes when I come to a stop just before my car comes to a halt the wheel all of a sudden jerks left on me and I need to crank it straight also sometimes on the highway I need to fight with my steering wheel a bit and hold it so that I dont end up in the guard rail...
I dont know if when my cousin installed the parts if he missed a step(s) I've been reading that when doing pads you need to put anti squeal on the back of them where the shims go, I dont know if he did this part.
This is really annoying because my new setup is giving me more problems then my stock setup, so right now Im feeling like i wasted $$$.
I know that the parts are good quality, but obviously something is not right here...
Any feedback, opinions, suggestions, help would be GREATLY! appreciated:)
