Oh? And why do you say that?

I got those rotors and they warped during the bedding. right off the bat on the bedding i should say. After the 3rd run i felt it and it just got worse. So yea i DO know exactly what i am talking about. (plus the exact same thing happened to severl other guys...)

j-man

yeah, i had a set of brembo - drilled & slotted & i had them CRYO'D (deep freezing for those unfamiliar) for use on my 03 tacoma dbl cab and they warped the 2nd day i had them. NEver again buy those. I have always stuck with the dealer rotors and never had them warp.

Thanks you.

Don't have to read anymore to discover your problem.

Texas_Ace

Ahh, but mine were not. And neither were severl other people that i have seen.

Whitey13

Probably installer error.

Texas_Ace

Oh? And how is that? Not much you can really do wrong that would cause it to warp. that and i have done more brake pad changes in 1 year then most people do in there whole life (you try driving 35,000 miles a year, mostly city driving a few years back)

Whitey13

You should examine the effects improperly torquing your lug nuts can have on rotors, not to mention they need to be properly bedded in.

If you are changing pads more than once in 35,000 miles than something isn't right.

Every bolt was torque to the exact specs in the book.

And I had to change the pads about once every 20k or so. About twice a year. The reason was that when delivering pizzas the stop and go driving eats brakes for lunch no matter what you do. I had 3 cars and some would last longer than others during that stint at pizza delivering. Some would eat brakes faster than others. My civic would need new pads about every 10K where my ford escort GT would only need it about 25K.
