Had the same thing happen to me a while back. Got dirt in the radial slot in one of the pads and the dirt chewed up about half of the braking surface on one side of the rotor. It sure felt like the rotor was warped, but it wasn't.


They can. I had a Z's rotors warp so bad I couldn't drive the car! Hit a huge puddle of water after hard braking.

Don't cheap out on brakes (or other critical components). Save up and get the good stuff. It's a sick feeling when your brakes fail (or fade bad enough that you think they have failed).
Agree! Why would you go cheap on something that will save your life?
