I'm getting tired of warping both front AND rear rotors! I'm also getting tired of hearing some SVX owners say they never have warped any rotors! I drive conservatively and don't do any kind of racing, but in 2 1/2 years I've warped at least 2 front and 2 rear sets of rotors! The most recent incident was about 1 1/2 months ago when I swapped my (stock) warped front rotors for newly turned crossdrilled (Motorsportwarehouse.com, 2 year old, $400/pair, shipped from Canada) rotors. They worked great for about 1 month! Now they're warping >> shaking steering wheel and brake.
Does anyone know how I can get good brakes without killing myself (I hear they have good brakes in Heaven!) or selling my house to pay for them (e.g. Motorsportwarehouse.com has $3000 brake kit!)
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO!
THANKS!
P.S. I'm using EBC Green Stuff front pads, Akebono rear pads. I "rebuilt" calipers about 6 months ago (cleaned, new seals), but didn't replace caliper pins. The pads were wearing evenly to my naked eye, so I didn't replace pins 6 months ago either (I have the parts).
