Yes, there are shiny spots. I put grease on them, or in the case of yesterday I tried anti-sieze. Stopped for a bit but the noise came back eventually.

The only thing keeping me from putting the in-expensive NBS rear disks on is the e-brake. I've been told the e-brake cable setup is different and not compatible, but nobody has told me why. Anyone know what the difference between 88-98 and 99+ is?
