Trusty 1st Gear October 31, 2009 Share October 31, 2009 if rotors warp, is it possible to just get the replacement disc and the problem is solved? referring to 2piece rotors is there a possibility that pads will warp too? need to change together? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotors replacement only solve warp rotors. You should consider changing brake fluid too. Brake pads dont warp,they fade if overheat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty 1st Gear November 1, 2009 Author Share November 1, 2009 which means there is no need to change the whole rotors? thats just good... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear November 1, 2009 Share November 1, 2009 which means there is no need to change the whole rotors? thats just good... What he meant was change out the warped rotors and replace with new rotors. Changing of rotors does not mean you got to change your brake pads as well. If when your need to change rotors and your brake pads are worn out, you change your brake pads as well. But if your brake pads are still working fine when you are changing your rotors, then there is no need to change the brake pads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyboy 1st Gear November 1, 2009 Share November 1, 2009 apparently rotors need to be bedded in as well. so when u change rotors, it's like changing a new brake pad, the braking force will not be optimal for the first dunno how many KM. just take note. just like tires, need to be scrubbed in for few hundred km before they have optimal grips Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty 1st Gear November 1, 2009 Author Share November 1, 2009 so there is no quick and fast way to solve warp rotors other than getting a new set. why doesnt pads warp or why is it only the rotors warp? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyke Supercharged November 1, 2009 Share November 1, 2009 Changing of rotors does not mean you got to change your brake pads as well. Rotor installation instructions will usually advise change to new pads together with new rotors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic November 1, 2009 Share November 1, 2009 so there is no quick and fast way to solve warp rotors other than getting a new set. why doesnt pads warp or why is it only the rotors warp? skim it n save $$. some will say it don last but mine used for 1 1/2 yr wif no problem. bottom line....don go for petrol kiosk car wash when e hot rotor may cool too rapidly tat may cause it 2 warp. i ve not been to car wash ever since i skimmed my rotor. FYI, new rotor will also warp if cool down too rapidly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony 1st Gear November 1, 2009 Share November 1, 2009 if rotors warp, is it possible to just get the replacement disc and the problem is solved? referring to 2piece rotors is there a possibility that pads will warp too? need to change together? It is recommended to change both rotor and pad together.. when your current rotor warp, the pad will also become uneven.. thus when you put in the new rotor, it will not wear off evenly ... so when you have uneven surface, your braking distance deteriorate.. comparing the cost of a pair of pad vs your life, which is the option?

Trusty 1st Gear November 1, 2009 Author Share November 1, 2009 when it skimmed for far too many times, it defeat the purpose already. rotors become less grippy and besides no guarantees that they wont warp again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, new rotor will also warp if cool down too rapidly. eh, actually a new set of OEM or original rotor is usually not that expensive. I don't really see the need to do skimming.. btw, how much does it cost to skim a pair? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty 1st Gear November 2, 2009 Author Share November 2, 2009 oem rotors cost more than or usually same as aftermarkets. anyway skimming should work ard $70/pair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony 1st Gear November 2, 2009 Share November 2, 2009 oem rotors cost more than or usually same as aftermarkets. anyway skimming should work ard $70/pair really depends on where you are looking.. I was quoted only $40 for a pair of OEM for my cold brand car whom people already say the parts are expensive and hard to find.. The original is going for $120 and some of the after market ones can go up to a k... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
