Damn aftermarket rotors are POS.

I have been through so many..I cant count anymore..first time out at the track ofter 500 mile break in...they are toast. Warped and cannot be turned to speck. It is where the bolt pattern is that gets warped. JUst totally out of calibration.

Next time..I will get factory Q45 rotors and Q45 calipers and pads and be done with it. For good.

Those are the brakes to have at a decent price.

Install is a cakewalk. I still wanna make damn sure the factory alloys 6.5/15 rims WILL Clear. Hate to have to go through that..general consensus is , no problem.

Glad all is better. I hate that warp..and getting it again as well... No bad but at 65...a little shimmer in the steering wheel.

Whew..I bet you were getting p i s s e d . At least, you now are a front brake expert after all of that crap.
