I ordered a set of new hawk hps pads, power slot rotors. goodrich stainless brakelines and new master cylinder. Got the parts on and when he started the seating or bedding on the pads the front would pull extermely hard to the left. Changed brake lines again thinking might be a bad line, same thing. Put new calipers on same thing. Switched the pads from side to side and the car pulled hard to the right. After five hours of frustration and we put a set of cheap pads on and it braked perfectly. Started looking at the hawk pads and one of them has a big hump on the edge of the pad where the machine work is bad. I called the supplier and their tech support told me to take a scotch bright pad and scuff it up and start over with the seating process?????? If I can take a scotch bright and "scuff" away that much material I do not want them on my car.
