Brake Poll - warping and pad type
My car is fine, but I'm wondering how other people are doing. I'm also interested in seeing how stock vs. aftermarket brake pads play into this issue.
I've got 21K on my car with stock rotors and aftermarket pads - no problems.

There isn't a poll answer for "Warped - Aftermarket AND Stock" so I picked "Warped - Aftermarket."
I had issues with both. Now that I have new rotors, the problem is gone. *knocks on wood* I am currently running aftermarket pads, and have had my current set up for about 4000 miles.

i had my stock pads and rotors replaced at 7,500 miles due to shuddering and 1 attempt at the dealer in shaving the rotors. i should start looking into new pads. cuz i know something is going to happen again. need some ferrodo anybody got some for free.

Well...I just took my EVO out of the garage last weekend...it's been sitting since November...hasn't been driven. Guess what....my rotors are warped AGAIN!!! This is the 3rd friggin time. Mitsu won't warranty it saying I drive like an *** and beat on the car. I HATE MITUSBISHI!!! The first 2 times...I was driving it. This time it sat for months NOT driven!

Yup, I think that's usually the issue with the Evo's is the pad transfer. Even if you have the rotors turned it will ususaly come back after a few thousand miles if you don't ever do a few hard slowdowns (don't ever come to a complete stop while doing this or you'll make it worse).

Can someone give a good technical explanation of pad transfer???
I am unclear as to what a few hard slow downs would do. I never come to a stop and leave my foot on the brakes. I always let off for at least 5 seconds to allow the pads to cool and not cause one spot on the rotor to burn while the light is red. This has always helped rotor and pad life/warping.

Pad transfer is when the pad material trasfers or builds up on the rotor, causes a thumping similar to a warped rotor. Lot's of cars nowdays have this problem with oem pads since they banned asbestos from oem pads.

One thing I found really helped to minimize pad transfer is to not use the parking brake when I park the car.
It sounds wierd, but I just went through a pad transfer problem again - my car had been sitting for about 3 weeks and the e-brake had been on. The first time I hit the brakes there was some shake. I took the car out to a safe area and did 4 or 5 hard 70 to 0 stops, and then drove the car normally. After that everything was fine.
