Default The Truth about Warped Rotors

A pretty good read from the guys over at Stoptech.

http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/...otors_myth.htm

He basically argues that there's no such thing as a "warped" rotor.

Enjoy!

I've read it. He doesn't say that there isn't such a thing as warped rotors. He says that most of the time when people think they have warped rotors it's pad transfer.

That's what happened to my last rotor with EBC greenstuff. Those brake pads piss me off! never again and they aren't even cheap!

I have heard horrible things about EBC's + even light track duty.
