As already posted - the brake pad "paste" (actually a goo, and the new goo comes in a tube large enough to do TON of brake jobs) gets applied to the SIDES of the pads. Do a forum search and you should find the post with a pdf of the MB instructions..I also do a light coat on the back of the pad, which is not instructed by MB, but the SIDES come first.

On "soaking" rotors, I have absolutely no idea of what you are describing - but no matter...

I choose to use slotted/plated rotors, and semi-metallic pads... and with that combo, and correct install with correct use of goop, no problems for me..

R1Concepts or Rotorwork on eBay both have been good sources for me.

With the active competition on parts ... rotor set front or rear are under USD$200 and pad sets undet $100... with affordable parts, parts rehab gets to be a shot in the dark.

Keep the beat !
