Replace or Resurface?
So my brake started to vibrate a lot espesially when I brake from high speed, say 60-80mph. Sometimes that scared me off... This doesn't happen so much with low speed or when its cold.
Rotors warped? I'm thinking still... should I get new rotors? or resurface the rotors? If I resurface it, will the same thing happen again? If anyone knows good new brake rotors or solution, I would really appreciate to hear!! Thanks -Ryu

My Race Concepts cadmium plated, dimpled and slotted rotors are still not warped after a year and a half of hi speed and hard braking. With their pads, stainless steel lines it's almost as much fun to stop as it is to go!! And absolutely no brake dust. Tom

Is your ball joints in good shape? I thought my rotors were bad also, drive at high speeds and then when I brake, it shudders etc... So I changed my ball joints because I knew it they were bad to begin with, now the rotors are excellent no fading, no shuddering. Good luck

If you call raceconcepts about parts be sure to tell them you where refered from here & you will get a good price. I got the lines for my birthday & I bought the rotors & Pads & I think all 4 rotors & pads was around $ 300 & worth every cent.. Anycar that can get up to speed & go as fast as our cars can , really NEED's to be able to stop as fast as it gettiups

Thanks guys for the info.
I just checked out the Raceconcepts website.. are these the one you guys were talking about? So, so far nobody voted for resurfacing the rotors??

Rotors do not warp. You have overheated your pads. Get your rotors resurfaced, and use some high performance pads. Your problems will be gone.
