I dunno...I think the thread in general is about politics no matter how you slice it. But yea...looking at it again they were quick to hop on specifically bringing up the name.

Is it more dust from the rear left than all three of the other wheels or just more from the rear left than the rear right? You sure they put the ceramic pad on that side? Hopefully you kept your pads. Your rears should never generate more dust than the fronts but if the rear left is engaging a little more than the rear right you might get more dust... Might just be in need of a brake bleed in that case.

I'm betting you gave them your rear right stock pads to replace your rear left stock pads. Your ceramics are probably still sitting in one of the Hawk boxes.
I have to swap out my pads this weekend (those race pads are incredibly freakin' loud - like bus braking loud but louder). If you can find a nice level spot and have a half-hour to kill we can do yours.

You can use my garage tomorrow if you want. I work on Sunday though. And it is the right pads. Dust went from black to brown. And I did clean them after we swapped the pads

FWIW I'm a lot better at this then I was when we first did John's car. I can do fronts in ~45 minutes and spent about 90 minutes doing my rears. I'm thinking it'll be even a little less after all the tire changes I did last weekend.

Here are the details:
- Friday October 31st at 8:00pm
- At 1146 Jeanie J Ave in Akron
- Alcoholic drinks and snacks will be provided
- Feel free to bring your own poison
- Halloween costumes are optional, but most of us will have one
- Due to the late night drinking, this will be an adult only party
- Directions from north:
- Take RT8 South and get off at the Tallmadge Ave exit.
- Turn left onto Tallmadge and stay in the left lane (unless you need to pass a slow driver).
- Turn left onto Hyde Park (you’ll see a Family Dollar across the street from Hyde Park)
- Take Hyde Park to Jeanie J and turn right. Our house is the first house on the right.
- You’ll have to park somewhere on the street.
