Noisy Brakes

[Dozer]

Have any of you guys with big brake conversions..drilled & grooved discs noticed an increase in noise since fitting ?

The reason I ask is that since installing my ECS brakes my Leon is making a noise much like a wheel bearing going down, I am sure it wasnt there before I did the conversion.

thats just the noise grooved and drilled discs make mate especially under heaving breaking

A 'whirring/droning' noise is common with drilled/grooved discs.

Nothing to worry about - its normal.

Thanks guys that makes me feel better

have just fitted grooved discs myself and thats the exact noise they make, glad its normal, the brakes aren't run in yet but i think they're getting a little quieter already, either that or i'm getting used to the noise.

Thanks for this thread. Now I know its normal. I just fitted grooved discs last week. So nervous what is that noisy sound.

Im worried about my brakes, I have drilled and grooved discs front and back. Standard pads on the front and yellowstuff pads on the back, Might make a horride grinding noise and the brake petal feels like the ABS is kicking in. This happens for the 1st 10 mins or so when i drive the car from cold.
Is this normal of Grooved&Drilled discs?
