Is this "NVH"?

Hey all,

Got the new Ohlins coilovers on and I love them...

But as soon as I've tried them out, I hear my brakes alot whenever I step on the pedal, especially when coming to a stop. Its a slight "rough sliding" noise coming from at least both rear corners and to a small degree from both fronts.

Is this normal for coilovers with no rubber in the top-hats?

Doesn't sound right. I would put the car in the air and double check the installation. Make sure nothing is rubbing, binding, or put on backwards.

Is it sort of a pulsating/vibrating noise or more of like a pad friction noise? If it's vibrating you might want to check and make sure the brake lines are secured to the coilover body correctly.

Its what I would call a "pad/friction noise".

Theres no pulsation and no change in braking performance.

I've had this car in the air and re-torqued every bolt, and taken apart then re-assembled the brakes.

Still a pad/friction noise. It might well be typical. Dunno.

What pads are you running? Sometimes in colder weather the pads just make a bit of noise until they get some heat in them.

totally stock.

I should note that as I listened this morning in the rain, it really was only noticable from 10 mph down to a stop. I just happened to be in that kind of traffic for... "sometime".
