Hi-last week I posted a message regarding some brake shudder that continued even after replacing the rear rotors and pads. Ever since that post however, the shuddering has stopped-so I think the pads had to just break in and seat to the rotors properly. With almost 1000 miles now, no shudder, squeals, or vibes. Just wish the rotors/hubs didn't rust so fast.

I used Zimmerman rotors, Textar pads, silicone grease (packet said Mercedes), new hardware (NAPA hardware had wrong pins-Kragen hardware was correct, made in Sweden, and $5 cheaper), re-used the stainless cutout Volvo shims, and torqued to 81 ft/lbs. I highly recommend this inexpensive ($122) yet dusty setup. Thanks list!
