well, I've been having problems with my brakes since i got my car. It has been in for front brake service 3 times already. They cut the rotor once, then the next time same thing, then finally they changed the pads and then recut the rotors again. Now again the rotors are uneven and at high speeds past 50/60mph the steering wheel shakes. I'm goign to try and get the dealer to replace the rotors I'll see how that goes. I have not tracked my car yet so I dont see how they could worp since I dont think i heat them up to much.

Or should i just upgrade my rotors, need some help, what to do.

Thanks,

Brett

 

Why don't you try using slotted or drilled rotors? I am a current vendor for evolutionm.net and could get you special prices:

Front X-Drilled Slotted Rotor = $140.00/ per rotor
-Outside Diameter = 320mm
-Height = 43.5mm
-Bolt Pattern = 5-4 1/2

Rear X-Drilled Slotted Rotor = $120.00/ per rotor
-Outside Diameter = 300mm
-Height = 57.5mm
-Bolt Pattern = 5-4 1/2

Brett,

If I were you, I'd just get new rotors and new brake pads. I took my EVO to the dealer 3 times for the exact same problem, once at 7k, once at 11k and again at 15k. refused to cover it under warranty the 2nd and 3rd time, so I had to pay out of pocket. I opted for some slotted rotors at 17k miles, and after 11k miles on them I have had no brake problems whatsoever. I've abused these new rotors way more than the stock rotors and they are still as smooth as ever.

 

rotors can only be cut but so manh times before they are out of spec...obviously the more you ut them, the less material there is and the faster they can heat up.

What kind of driving do you typically do?

There wasa really good article in this months SCC you might want to check out as well, as it covers some really good info on the Evo brakes
