I have that same setup ... and my rotors are warped.

I don't know why since I never brake hard ... the only thing I can think of that would cause the issue is incorrectly torqued lugnuts. I used to half-jump on the wrench when torquing it (not a torque wrench) because I didn't think it would make a difference.

I didn't like the Hawks. They grab INSTANTLY. There's absolutely no modulation ability in them at all. That and they're noisy and they're dusty.
I have a set with 5000 street miles on them if anyone wants a set.

Consider the fact that they're about 70 new (HP+) and throw me a number.

I have PBR pads and they also grab like crazy. Great for race, autox, not for continued city driving - and the dust...damn. Id get Satisfied dust free ones, about 40 at autozone. they have little little dust and people say they work almost as good as ebcs, hawks, etc. Ill prolly get a set of those next.
