warped rotors. time for a resurface. how many miles on the car? might need brakes.

 

mine does it too...are you sure matty?

 

Yes, its warped rotors. Youll need to have them resurfaced. Any place that does brakes can do it, or if you know someone who has machine shop access, it takes 5 minutes per rotor.

 

Yep what he said lol

 

You mean this: :stupid:

 

Did you just say matty?...

And yes as matt stated ya'll have warped rotors...I had the same problem a last year. Bought new rotors and brake pads..problem solved...

 

Don't resurface them, just get new ones. I never do that, always buy new ones. They're not that expensive, and you have it all apart anyway.

 

I had that problem. Got my wheels balanced and it went away.

 

Balancing might have worked for you, but he said it only happens when he brakes, so one must surmise that it's the rotors.

 

I agree, I didnt read the thread. Figure Id throw that out there anyway.

 

well since they can be resurfaced and still be within specs(probably about 2-3 times), and after resurfacing them they are like brand new. where i live it's 5 bucks per rotor to turn them and new rotors are like 30-40 apiece??right??....resurface them unless you plan on upgrading your brakes

 

If you hit your brakes hard and constantly like a **** it will.

 

I just have too much money, I guess. I also tried out some ceramic brake pads, I'll let you know how they last. They were right about one thing, no brake dust.

 

how about the sqeaking when breaking?

 

I have yet to notice that. Is that suppose to be one of the problems with ceramic brakes? I've had them on for about 4,000 miles now, still no squeak.

 

Yuppers... warped rotors... go find yourself a shop with a brake lathe and have them resurfaced... just another thing i can get done free thanks to my dad's clients...
It can happen over time, or due to high speed braking... or if you live up north, getting on the brakes early in the morning when they are <32*F or you know -10*F happens too... I live on a large hill, and the first thing I do in the morning is ride my brakes down the hill in the freezing weather, rapidly heating cold metal. No good for brakes.

 

There will be NO issues. My brother has 17x9 bullitts up front and has no issues with his bullitt brake kit. Clearance is fine. He actually just upgraded the rotors two weeks ago to power slot rotors! they look awesome!

 

no way, now most car companies make throw away rotors, one and done. most times they are with in .015 of discard brand new and can never be turned. its not like it was 5 maybe 10 years ago when you could turn rotors 2-3 times. manufactorer's use a thinner rotor to save on weight, plus they use steel from over sea's which has a real quality issue. I have to mic rotors and break this bad news almost everyday to people with cars 02-03 and newer. sometimes i have dip a few years older, like a ford taurus 99+ , no matter what i cant turn 'em, the things come .010 off discard brand new. its either you keep what you have or buy new ones. o and btw, never buy the cheaper rotors if you can avoid it, those pieces of crap come from china land. just pop the extra money and get the premium rotors, at my store its raybestos, and those things are made in the USA with good quality steel with a 5 yr warranty against warpage.

 

cassette, what kind(brand) of brake lathe do you use? Just curious as my father is in the business... He installs and services all parts for Hunter Parts and Service, such as alignment machines, wheel balances, etc.

 

ill have to check, i just got home from work. so ill wait till sunday to check out the brand.
