I've currently got a pair of rear cross drilled/slotted Brembo rotors on. I'm also using the AEM high performance brake pads. Christ does it make alot of noise, I'm pretty sure its the rotors, was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with Brembo rotors or maybe its just the cross drilled/slotted?

yeah my cross drilled rotors are loud as ---- when it comes to breaking.

I can't see it being the rotors fault.. my bet is on those AEM pads, probably a high performance type? well that means noise. Try OE or EBC Green stuff pads.

I agree with crx88si.

hmm then why do my brakes squeal when i stop. i got some cheap raybestos brake pads. but my dads astro has the same brake pads just orginal rotors and it doesnt make any noises

well when you press the brake pedal the AEM pads grip the brembo rotor...

try switch the AEM pads to OE. give them the break in period and see.

there are 2 major type of break pads.

1) metilac- they have little metal flaked in the break pad to produce more friction for stoping and they squeel like a trash truck. they are the cheap ones.

2) Organic- they have no metal in them therefore they are quieter.

on the astro there is proberly organic. you are proberly using metalic.

oh well whatever works. as long as it stops iam okay

performance = noise, fact.

Mine are not squeeling though, they make a really loud scratching sound (like dragging a knife on top of sheet metal sort of). Or when its cold out they hum.
