Message	After installing a StopTech BBK in my Z, I lived with vibration for 7 and 1/2 years. For the longest of time though it was rotor related but several indicator measurements showed the outer edge had no more than .002 runout. One day Bernie mentioned Hawk pads and how that brand had eliminated problems with his car's brakes. I got rid of the Axxis pads and replaced them with set of Hawk. At 1st I was somewhat disappointed as they did reduce the vibration but not entirely. After a trip to Deals Gap, the car now is much improved. Apparently the invisible deposits the StopTech people spoke about had to be worn off. I highly recommend these pads or others that have the same friction surface formulation.
