Warped 'em again

Dallaz · 02-24-2013, 02:02 PM

I would get Z1's brake kit with new rotors all around. they give you the option on slotted or cross drilled & slotted rotors, pads, SS brake lines, and fluid. Thats if your going to change them out. Mine were warped just recently and I had new ones put on the front for more than the entire kit from Z1, I was just in a rush to get them.

They will need to be tossed out, bummer it's happened twice by 17,000 miles.

I'm very anal about it now that I've had to get them replaced, these things are s*** as far as warping goes, they warp on everyone, yes the sport brakes. If your doing any sort of hard braking or continuous braking that will get your rotors heated up, a piece of advice is to not have your foot on the brake pedal at stop signs/lights because the brake pad material transfers to the rotor when its hot enough and creates bumps from the build up of transferred material "warped" rotors.

How are the wheel lugs being put on? With a torque wrench, an impact, or by hand?
To much torque can cause the rotors to warp.
