the surface of these rotors look like they are cracked. Is this safe?

 

For DD thats OK for a while I would say. I would get a replacement set soon though, you don't want a rotor exploding on you.

Are these the rotors you replaced with your used ones you bought from your other thread? Or are these the used rotors you just put on that are now pulsing?

 

looks like its ready to shatter.

 

look like its a warped rotor

 

These are the rotors I bought that had low miles on them that were pulsing in the other thread. I removed them last night cause I am not going to mess around with the brakes on the car. They felt awful espcially at braking over 65mph. They just were not safe in my opinion. So I removed them and put back my other rotors. Car drives normal now.

I was able to get the seller to refund the money so all is good i guess. He understood and did a full refund.

 

yeah, those are definitely warped... they have been stressed under mucho heat and cooled more than a few times... and what brand were they?

 

Looks like a tracked rotor. That is normal to see after a track day.

 

Funny Cause I track my R32 on a road course so my brakes get super hot and never have the rotors done this.

I was told that these are OEM rotors so going to assume Brembo's. They are off the car now. I was told that these did not see any track time or abuse. Guess I learned my lesson. Being poor sucks.

 

sorry to hear it.. but those definitely looked like more than spirited driving wear..

 

nothing wrong with those rotors for an evo. track mine like that all the time. normal for a hot rotor to do this.


the pulsing you felt was pad material that was not removed from the rotor.

since I don't know anything about your individual case let me say that its not uncommon for rotors to look like those, but yours might have been bad.

 

Thanks nothere these were defiantly not safe to drive on. Above 65mph the wheel should shimmy like all hell. Just not something i want to drive on..

 

run your finger on the lip of the rotor. If the lip is protruding severly, time for new rotors.

 

I'm glad to hear because mine have looked like that for the past year and a half.

 

+1 --> look like they've been tracked.

Yep, I've got a couple sets that look like this and much much worse. So much misinformation in this thread...

 

Yah well they are warped as well so still a problem. You should not drive on warped rotors.
