RE: [DML] Wanted: Completely different brake setup

Christina, When you depress the pedal what kind of noise is the front
making, Squeaking, grinding noise or chatter. As far as the parking brake,
there is an adjustment to keep them from even touching the rotor when
driving.

Subject: [DML] Wanted: Completely different brake setup


Hi all, I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with this. My
brakes are noisy. Unbelievably noisy. Sometimes it'll be the front brakes
while stopping, or the parking brake pads rubbing the ever-warped rotors.
I've probably changed the pads somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20 times
in the past 4 years of ownership, and I've tried every kind out there.
I've replaced the rotors, turned the rotors, replaced the parking brake
pads, different shims, different springs, different clips, different
compounds, and still I get squeaking, rubbing, chirping etc.

Basically, I want out. :)

Has anyone ever found different calipers and rotors that will fit on a
DeLorean, but are not the calipers and rotors that the vendors carry?
Vented, slotted, and drilled are of course preferable, but at this point,
I'll try anything that anyone can think of.

Thanks everyone. Oh, have fun in Pigeon Forge! I'm sorry I'll be missing
it.

-Christian
