has any1 installed aem big rotor kit?

i've had the aem big rotor kit on my car for about 4 months. now i hear a little clicking noise when i turn...is that normal? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] i know for a fact it's the rotors cause i put the stocks back on and no noise. i'm also pretty sure i followed all instructions and torqued every bolt and screw. could it be my factory brake pads?

I have the brembo rotors and Nissin pads, when I put them on I found that they shifted in the calipers - same as the reversing noise discussed at length in another thread - during all driving conditions. You are probably getting the same shifting during turning. It is just how the pad seats in the caliper. There is supposed to be a fix on the way from honda - but who knows. As long as you don't start to feel anything substanial during brake application I wouldn't worry too much. - jmo - JAL

Are you guys sure it isn't your springs. I don't have the brake kit...but my car "clicks" when I turn all the time.

usually, a clicking sound when the wheel is turned points to a problem with the cv joints. it's probably unlikely that you'd have cv problems with such a new car, but it might be worth checking out.

no..couldn't be my cv axles, but i honestly thought it might have been..about that brake noise, its weird-sometimes i hear , sometimes i don't.. and if i apply some medium pressure to the brake pedal while turning, i really don't hear it either, only when i'm cruisin around a turn at about 20mph without steppin on the brakes..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] oh well, doesn't seem to be really too bad, just as long as nothin falls apart
