Unilat Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 You will be fine with getting a set of new stock rotors. The stock rotors have more thermal capacity than the RB replacement rotors. You are not getting warp, you are getting uneven deposits from the stock brake pads... Ted I don't know, Ted. Mine are fine for normal braking - but If I heat them up (long application or several quick hard stops), then they start acting up warped. If it was deposits, I'd think I feel the "warped" feel all the time. (to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 ^ the pads are warming up and starting to leave chucks of material everywhere on the rotor.. don't worry it happens to me as well on the track as well.. but it happens to be only on the track..

praedet Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Unilat, I promise you aren't warping the rotors But you do have to turn them to remove the deposits if some dragging or rebedding doesn't help... Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I posted this elsewhere but thought you guys might see this. I had the rotors resurfaced and Endless SS-M pads installed. Now when I brake lightly, I get a slight pulsation (if only one hand on steering wheel, it vibrates some). When I brake heavy, it goes away. Is this just normal or do I still have rotor issues? I did seat the pads after they were installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNS Brakes Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I would agree that you are getting the deposit problem - everytime I change out stock pads on a Subie I see black pad imprinting all over the rotor - especially the rear. Thats a somewhat common problem w/ oem type ceramic based pads when they get hot is what i would infer from that. Rebedding can sometimes help it - but the pads will always be susceptible to repeating this. If you remove the rotors I'd suggest soem heavy sanding with garnett paper can do as much as turning without unnecessarily removing metal. as a last resor tturn them - but it's painful to watch money being cut off your parts if they don't need it. all you should need is the lightest cut possible to clean them up.
