    Roller skate brake pads

    my car went in for new rotors and brakes. Started to feel a little wobble at high speeds when I braked so could tell the rotors were a bit warped from heat.Anyways I have the weights on the calipers and did not have roller skate weights on the pads. but apparently, all new pads now have roller skate weights on them. I got my local dealer mechanic to agree to cut them off and leave the weights on the calipers, especially since Pete already painted them.
    so if you don't have roller skates now you will on your first brake job apparently unless you request for some modification work LOL

    All they have to do is put gen 1 CTSV pads on... No need to modify anything just use the other pads

      The weights and roller skates never really helped the issue they were intended to fix. People still complain about break squeal. A friend had his pads replaced on his '10 under warranty because of noise, and they put on skates. At 13,000 the fronts are squealing again.

      I just replaced my pads with Hawk HP+ and I noticed the stock pads (with only 3,500 miles) had a very thin film of brake grease on the backs. Mine were already starting to squeal on low speed stops. My Hawks were making all kinds of noise right away, although some is expected for a performance pad. I pulled them back off and put on a liberal amount of brake squeal stop and almost all the noise is gone now. The pads I have will never be 100% quiet, but they are way better now.

        Never had a problem with my brakes squealing. Had the break job done on a Saturday and the pads were preordered. They did a great job notching off the roller blades. can't even tell. It's a good fix if you don't like the look of the roller blades and want to stick with original chevy equipment. I keep hearing about people having squeaking issues, my model was sept. Of 2009, maybe something different was going on with the setup I ended up with cause never had an issue thankfully.

            Yup... I cornered the brembo engineer for the car at a GM event and asked him what was up with them and he explained that you can use gen1 V pads but you will have more NVH from the braking system without weights or roller skates but if you can live with a little more noise do that

              yes you need either weights on the calipers or the roller skates on the pads but you dont need both. I like the way they perform without the roller skates and also like the way they look without them..

                Just cut the roller blades off a new set of pads again on a brake job. Nice clean look and NO Squeek as of yet. Just made sure we cleaned up all the parts like new again clean the pins and applied some anti squeek (lol) on the back of the pads.
