yah, i dont have this problem on my akebono with stock pads. i brake on the firmer side vs normal cars, and dont sit on the brakes at a light.

This is key...holding the brake pedal down after heating up your pads will inevitabley cause your pads to melt and transfer ALOT of material to the rotor. Same goes for the parking brake, don't put your parking brake up!

Your rotors won't get warped, the correct term is "glazed". Also, this is not just a problem with our cars, this is a problem you could experience on just about any car if you drive it hard enough.

I thought the parking brake was separate from the rear brake caliper.
