use 309 rod next time. 308 is for stainless to stainless.

tbh I have done welded diffs with normal spatter gun and it was fine, no cracking though.

 

I meant 309.

UPdates from tonight. Why do I keep doing this to rear brake pads? First I thought it was just because ebc sucks or because I left the ebrake a few clicks up. But this is hawk, and I havent done the ebrake thing again.

 

Because Hawks are garbagio.

 

It's got to be something I do though, because random $10 pads on the front never did that to me even when the brakes dragged badly because the stupid rubber things always swell up.
