glad you solved that.
it took me about 10 stops anywhere from 45-80 down to about 10mph to get any kind of brake fade and I have crappy street pads on
thats a releaf for me... i was bitching about my brakes when it faded after 4 consecutive stops from 75MPH to almost a complete hault knowing that i got OEM pads, stock 11" rotors on my 1.5 SOHC that was overloaded with extra passenger, a heavy tool box and jack and 14" steel rims at the time of the test.

Its 110degrees right now and it took me about 10 stops anywhere from 45-80 down to about 10mph to get any kind of brake fade and I have crappy street pads on.
So the problem is completely gone now and the bias seems equal?

So far... I havn't tried to lock them up yet but we'll see. The only reason I think it may not be equal is there seams to be more dusting on the right side...but that could be from before.

Thats not bad at all, since its so hot here my OEM style slotted rotors with decent pads would heat up after one stop from 75mph with fully loaded car.
