Odd Noise when breaking

Because I don't believe in the cram-n-slam method, I guess. A customer did that once to a brand new $800.00 brake job...said he did a few panic stop to cure his brakes just right (all 4 rotors were purple), within 30 minutes of paying and I happily informed him he voided any chance of future warranty.

I had to panic stop, once, from about 60-0 in my new Prelude (had less than 10k miles) because an idiot pulled out in front of me. Drove car home, which was about 5 miles away...and from that point on I couldn't hit the brakes above 55mph w/o getting runout feedback in the brake pedal, so the dealer resurfaced rotors and all was well.
