It is my opinion that it is possible that somehow pad material transferred improperly, hence I will drive it for 100 miles and see if anything changes, maybe go through a bedding procedure late at night. It's a myth that rotors warp. What is the best proceedure for OEM Sport pads? It feels like a bedding issue to me because the harder I apply the brakes, the "calmer" it feels. If something were not "true", that would only make it worse. Last edited by ImportConvert; 09-10-2012 at 10:18 AM. |

Re-bed them. A couple of high speed stops should do ya "warped rotors" is more a misnomer than a myth, since the uneven deposits represent a "warped" braking surface. |

.JPG) http://www.bonedaddy.net/Fishey/IMG_0027%20(Medium).JPG Warped Rotor.. I have seen it many times. Sometimes its pad transfer sometimes it is not. Usually if the rotor looks "blue" its pad transfer. If the rotor looks normal silver usually a physically warped rotor. It is extremely extremely rare that a warped rotor would happen on a car that didn't have a caliper issue. I would say 99% of real warped rotors there is a problem in the caliper or brake system that causes the condition. Hope that helps. -Your Pal Fishey Last edited by Fishey; 10-11-2012 at 07:52 PM. |

This will mark the 3rd time I will need to turn my front rotors (back once) within 10k miles and I drive the car hard but only 1 autocross.
Sport Touring This is not acceptable. I need to solve this crap.  I'm guessing its a rotor temp and pad material issue. I'm using RBF600 with steel lines and hawk HPS pads but rotors are stock. I might get the stillen hook slot rotors with the cooling duct but would hate to spend that money and the issue persists.
