Just replaced the rotors and new pads. The pads are semi metallic. I’ve noticed a brief rubbing sound when coming to a complete stop and when lifting my foot off the brake pedal from a stop. Is this normal for metallic pads?

    Usually the noisier is just the squeaking when you brake. Reusing the shims might cause the rubbing sound, but it’s hard to say for sure. The rubbing sound is most likely vibration in the brake pad as you come to a complete stop and the pads kicking off of the rotor as you start moving again.

    What brand did you get?

    It could be normal for those pads to make that noise. If it’s stopping good, the pedal doesn’t feel spongy, and the wear on the rotor and pads look uniform I think you’ll be okay. As long as it doesn’t make a rubbing sound while you’re moving! I’d keep an eye on it just in case. Worst case you spend too much time looking at perfectly good brakes!

      Thanks. Yeah all working well. I think it’s the pads. If I barely come off the brakes from a stop I can get it to happen, but then it goes away.

      They’re Centric pads and rotors.
