warped discs..(imagine that..)

[gud2goe]

well as the title says after doing the springs i see the rotors are warped..i think i will go with powerslots due to drilled rotors are prone to cracking..

my question is there a good place to get them at a decent price..i checked e-bay ,,,but just because a rotor has slots doesnt make them powerslots like some would have you belive..

 

[gud2goe]

no takers?

i highly doubt they're warped, but if you say so....

try the oem brembos from tirerack for $67. you wont warp them.

 

[gud2goe]

well let me say this...if they arent warped i have a bent spindle....because i can see it by spinning...i am going with rotor as oppesed to spindle

yea i went to tire rack..not a bad deal..

thanks shelby

powerslots maybe..

I've warped mine 3 times already. I drive hard, but these cars are just heavy. I ordered some slotted and zinc plated brembos from www.gothamracing.com. I didn't see them listed on the website, so I had to call but they can get them for most any car.

oh three did you get a good price...i will try and call in the am when i get off work..

Are you spinning them with the wheels off? If you are, the rotor slips over hub and will flop around a bit with the wheels off. The wheel holds the rotor to the hub. If you don't feel it when your driving then they are not warped.

i put nuts on there to snug up the rotor,,,it isnt bad but hey i got it apart now so ....

If I had to replace my rotors 3 times because they were warped, then I would also be looking at the bearings and spindle for damage / wear.

I forgot what I paid as it was a while ago.

I was able to cut the rotors the first 2 times, they were only slightly out of spec. I was doing alot of highway pulls and alot of braking when this happened.

Ive warped three sets of different rotos (ebc, kvr, etc), daily driving,
no autocross, no racing.
Then I bought a brake system from baer and havent had a problem
since.

Something to be said for actually spending a little extra to get well known quality then trying to go the cheap route all the time.

although, a good alternative is the cobra r brake setup, heard nothing but good things about it and its not ridiculously expensive like some brake systems.

well i went with the frpp drilled\slotted rotors got a good price from gene evans ford...

but after talking to some peeps it is my understanding that both the stock and frpp rotors are brembo units(correct me if i am wrong)..so i think i should be ok.....for now.. :shrug:
