Corvette: OT Rotors

    OT Rotors

    Help! Somebody must know the answer to this...my daily driver is a 2000
    Infinity I-30. I continually warp my front rotors. I know that most of the
    problem is my driving "style" and late braking (but so what). Does anybody
    know where I can get "super heavy duty" rotors for this car? I've switched
    to ceramic pads. They don't burn up like the organic ones did, but it
    didn't help with the warped rotor problem. TIA.

    Diode,

    The problem is these OEM rotors are obtained from the cheapest, low cost
    source that the manufacturers can find. Typically, these are made with
    recycled iron in China. The better rotors usually cost 2 or more times as
    much as the cheapies, but in the long run are well worth the extra expense.

    I had the same problem with my wife's 2000 Malibu. The dealer replaced the
    front rotors 3 times under warranty, but within a few weeks they would be
    warped again. After the warranty ended, I bought a set of Raybestos rotors
    and have had no warping since. BTW, I've read that many warpage problems
    arise from improper torquing, so make sure that the lug nuts are being
    tightened with a torque wrench (usually ~100 ft-lbs for most sedans)

    Thanks for the info, guys. The slotted rotors look like they'll do the job.
    See, I knew you guys had the answer
