Ruslow rotors.

Just installed Ruslow rotos and noticed a funny sound coming from the wheeles when the windows were down, hardly noticable. The sound is kinda hard to explain but its sorta like air being released and blocked....Just thinking that the rotors are making this noise. Any help?

Sure it's not the pads scraping the rotors ? That's very common with new pads and rotors....if that's the case it should go away.

Well we put new pads on also....maybe it could be that, just doesn't sound like pads on metal, mor like just air passing through.

does it sound like grass moving in the wind?If so it is the pattern of the rotors contacting the pads.Which is a normal sound if that is the noise.Stan

My cross-drilled Brembos whine. So I get whine on acceleration, whine on deceleration. I kinda like it, but it creeps passengers out sometime. Most people are not used to hearing anything when the brakes are applied.

The way you crank the go pedal on that radio/CD, I'm surprised you ever noticed

By the way Stan, the design and machining work on the rotors was top notch. Great job
