I'm talking about the OEM replacement blanks. I had a new set of NISSAN rotors put on in September with my old EBC greens left on there and the are already moderately warped. I don't have any stuck calipers(atleast I don't think) and I'm an angel on my brakes...no hard braking unless an emergency pops up.

Also, do you guys like Hawk performance pads?

The hawk pads are a decent pad. They are NOT the best that you can buy, but they are very decent pads, and they also have minimal dusting.

As far as your rotors warping, I would try to get the Brembo slotted rotors. Or if you can find them, get the Brembo cross-dimpled/slotted rotors. They will dissipate the heat better and minimize warping. They also decrease brake fade.....

 

hmmm rapid cooling and heating..wouldn't that cause more warpage?
(this can get ugly)

 

Honda AutoX'ers prefer AMMCO. They sell them at autozone for $20 or so. They are suppose to be the most resistant to brake fade, better than AEM and Brembo. I thought Brembo's were suppose to be fade resistant (I have the 13" 4-piston Gran Turismo set). My brother borrows the car to take up to San Francisco...returns the car to me with warped rotors.

 

My nissan rotors aren't THAT warped, but i can kinda tell. Sometimes its there...sometimes less. The fact is, i've been bent over for 80 bucks a pop for nissan rotors when these brembro blanks can be had for 34 each from the tirerack. Why even pay a shop 15 a piece to turn down my current ones when I can get new for double that. And I think I want a harder pad than the EBC they last 1.5 years TOPS and thats with 10K miles of solid highway this summer.


PS. I'm going to do the work myself...this should be a real adventure. 3rd gen BBS here I come......HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
