Today I did my brakes, the shop that resurfaced my rotors had to do them 3 times cuz they were warped and in pretty bad shape lol. He also said that they won't be able to be resurfaced again, and next time I'll have to get new ones.

I would have just gotten new ones to begin with.

Coblt ss super

stop being cheap and buy new ones, haha jk

anthonyS88

they are going to warp again because they resurfaced them a lot and the rotors are even thinner now

Bro I warp rotors like crazy!! The BEST thing I could have done was last Christmas I bought the GMPP rotors! A year later not the slightest bit of pulsation.

this is the first brake job since I've had the car and I put 30k miles on it since Oct. 05

and I like being cheap rofl jk, I'm trying to save up for the hahn turbo kit.

anthonyS88

if you have a turbo but no brakes your begging for trouble

well I'll probably look into buying some later on in the future. Any idea where I can get some drilled or slotted rotors for a good price?

ok, for one. i am very surprised they resurfaced the rotors after being warped. its not common practice for a mechanic to do that. rotors are very, very cheap these days. oem replacements.....well here in canada... are about 40 bucks. and take only about3 minutes to replace with mechanical background. i would suggest in the future to grab new rotors if you feel pulsations while braking.

also if they are warped usually means they were overheated at some point. heavy on the brakes and not letting them cool down will cause this. also depending on the type of wheels you have, depends on the cooling affectiveness of the rotos. some wheels are designed to direct air into the braking system to cool off. keep that in mind.

slotted rotos could help this problem. but do your research. many slotted rotor companies have crap rotos and warp very quickly. the thicker, the better. but you also want to make sure that the cooling fins on the rotor are affective.

just a something to keep in mind

Honestly so far the best way I've found to avoid warping............go with a different pad compound. OEM pads and OEM rotors for whatever reason are NOT a good combination on this car. I replaced my rotors at 36k and changed from OEM pads to Hawk HPS. I have almost 20k on that combo, not a single pulsation and NO grooves on the face of the rotor, the surface still feels smooth and even as silk.

most cheap rotors from Autozone, Advance Auto etc. aren't heat treated before they're shipped

this means that your rotors will warp faster

OEM rotors are junk PERIOD....they rust and warp like a ****

^^ Very true .... Oem's rust like nothing ive ever seen before . I wash my car and by the time i dry the thing the rotors are rusting . Mine haven't warped in 18k miles so i guess it's were and how you drive . I live in the country so i don't have to deal with stop and go traffic.

I see nothing wrong with oem I have 65,000 miles on my stock ones and no problems at all on the 2nd set of oem pads.quit over driving the car and you all wont have any problems ,mine stops on a dime and has since I got the car.

Wow...be a lil easier on brakes...too much heat people...
