SMSP Brake Rotors are finished with a corrosion resistant plating material. This material is removed by the friction between the rotor and pad. During the time the plating is being removed the customer may feel and/or hear “unusual” noises. In most cases this is the plating material being removed and is to be considered normal. We can not give a timeline as to how long this will take to remove as there are many variables including but not limited to; driving style, driving type (highway vs. city), regularity of vehicle use, etc. If the unusual characteristics persist past the point the plating has been removed please consult SMSP for further guidance.
