4000q brakes

[Mason Bender <mbender@freenet.columbus.oh.us>]

Dear Quattrophiles-

I replacedthe front brakes on my 86 4000q last week, and am experiencing
some noise.  I used Brembo rotors and MetalMaster Pads.  

There is a bit of brake drag.  There is not enough to effect mileage, but
enough to cause a whirring sound at low speeds.  I've put about 500 miles
on them, and the noise comes and goes.  There is no pulsing during
braking, so I assume there is no runout in the discs.

I did notice that the MM pads were thicker than I recall stock pads were. 
The caliper pistons needed to be pushed in completely, and the pads and
calipers barely fit around the discs.

I guess I know that in time things will just wear in, and most likely
everything will be fine.

But I want to know if this has happened to other people.  If you don't
have time for a full reply, a simple yes or no will suffice.  I'll know
what it means.

Thanks-
Mason B

P.S.  I noticed a patent notice the other day that had Audi patenting a
development of pop-up headrests for active convertible roll-over
protection (similar to the setup on the Mercedes E-class cabriolet).
