C32 brakes feeling rough?

I have the C32 brakes + Porterfield RS4 pads (for low brake dust). I do notice though that while braking, the pedal feels kinda rough, like as if there's some sand in the brake pads or something.

What is the cause of this? Is this normal?

Find a open road an do 3-4 quick 60-0 stops. You probably have pad deposits.

Let me guess? They also squeel when you come to a stop. I have these pads as well. The stock ones are much better for street use.

They don't squeal, I don't think. Will listen for it more closely just to be sure though.

Hmmm so I guess I'm not the only one that feels it being a little "sandy"? I thought it was due to an improper break-in or something.

Actually try what vadim said it will work. Ben(mach430) told me to do that when my brakes felt 'funky' it worked like a charm
