Yes, that's right, I hate them and now I am starting to hate my car! Anyone=
 want a S6 with 51k miles? Take it please. Not really. So as previously pos=
ted, I am having some vibrations (making a humming noise) coming from my fr=
ont end. (993 carrera calipers, S6+ rotors) It almost sounds like a wheel b=
earing, but it is not. It is the pad hanging up on the rotor. I replaced my=
 aluminum brackets with RS2 steel brackets with some custom made spacers. N=
othin'.  I called Dave Jones (he has seen this, however only on URS6s, not =
on URS4s), he said to file down the leading edge of the pad, well, tonight =
I did that, nothin'. The sound (which I can feel vibrations in the steering=
 wheel and floorboard) actually got worse. My next step is to turn the roto=
rs, then move them left to right, to reverse the direction of the slots, wh=
ich are now facing away from the direction that the rotor is spinning (I've=
 seen both ways) . If this does not work, its new brakes time. I am thinkin=
g 996 turbo calipers over Porsche rotors. How does this work? Do you need a=
 new hat (not for your head silly)?
Anyone have any suggestions???? PLEASE?????????
