:thinking:

im getting new rotors and pads and i want to make sure they dont glaze over like the ones that are on my car now because then that would be a waste of money if i buy and install this new stuff and it turns out that i would have to do it again.

:wavey:

thanks.

 

Brake slowly and not too firmly for the first 250 miles. Avoid panic stops at all costs.

If your rotor gets glazed, you can sand that out. If your pads get glazed, then your SOL

 

how do they get glazed in the first place?

 

Rotor glaze? I believe that's from contaminates (Like the rustproof coating that comes from the factory, chemicals from the new pads, etc) being baked onto the rotor, making it too slippery of a surface for the pads to catch.

Pad glaze is when the pads get compressed too quickly and they condense too much, losing their grip because their actual physical structure gets changed.

 

id "turn" my rotors before i buy new ones IMO

 

What do you mean by glaze?

 

If you don't want glazed, get powered or chocolate. Simple enough.

 

FVCKIN :werd:

 

whats that mean?

 

Shave of a mm or two to give them a fresher surface.
