So I've been searching the forums a bit, and I think I've found at the reason for my problem, but no solution. I did two days at the track this weekend with a total of 7 session of thirty minutes each. On the way home, I noticed a shuddering sound from the brakes under moderate braking at highway speed There is also some noise at low speed but less pronounced and nothing under heavy braking. From what I've read this is probably due to brake material embedded in the rotors. Sadly, I can't pull my wheels yet, because I've lost my wheel lock key. Should have a new one by Friday.
These pictures are terrible, but It appears the rears are pretty close to done, but the fronts are in good shape. Do the rotors look like they have embedded material, or can you see that?
The real question is, how do I fix this? I saw some kind of Alcon Kit that supposed to resurface the rotor, but I don't think we're supposed to do that with drilled rotors. One suggestion was to replace the pads. I can see doing the rears, but the fronts? Also do I go back with stock pads?
