I had a couple of rotors turned today. This is the second set of rotors I have been through.....stock rotors.
Maybe this has been covered in previous threads....I couldn't find any so excuse me if it has. In every ones experience what are the best rotors to use. It seems like the stock rotor steel is too soft and I am on my third set. I like driving the car in the local mountain roads on the weekends but after a while the rotors seems to ridge ( particulary the front) prematurely. Sorry no sexy pictures but it just seems like the stock ones go bad to soon. Rob |

Sean..
Not exactly.... when I bought the car the pads were new and the rotors were out of spec, past .354. I had a spare set so had those turned. Drove on them weekend driving...mountain roads...fun, and about 5,000 miles later, those were past spec. So I quess that means two stock rotors to one set of pads. I am doing the front end this Winter and am pondering if the "frozen" or cyrogenically treated as our friend from the Great North suggests is the better bet? Or is there something in my set up that is potentialy wrong? Maybe it is just my foot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Anyway, thanks for the feedback. |
