The tech said he tried to, but then I repeated the procedure last night. Roughly following carbotech's procedure, I got them warmed up with some lighter stops and then did 7-8 65 to 10 stops, and then drove around a bit to let them cool down. The sound is a bit better today, but still happens.
Seems unlikely anything is fundamentally wrong, so I'm not going to worry about it for the track day tomorrow.
BTW, here's a dumb question. Do the calipers adjust to brake pad wear? Or do they always return to the same resting position? In other words, if I have rubbing, but wear down the pads, will this increase the distance btwn pad and rotor when not braking?
Thanks.
