Default Help me with my brakes...

https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=217696


Not that the people in the Teg forum arent doing a good job.


It looks like I need to replace the front pads again...for the 4th time at 90k :eh: When I replace them, is it wise to replace the rotors along with them? The last time I turned the rotors, they ended up warping :thinking:

And what pads should I get? :run: I have Ultimates or Metal Masters (PBR) right now. And I put those in along with new rotors at 67k. I am at 90k right now.

:crazyr:

How old are the rotors and have they been turned?

Turning is dumb, always replace.

How much cheaper is turning? I got 2 brembo blanks for the front for $75. That's not that much.

You are very wrong.

Turning is just fine just as long they are still within clearance. Expect to pay around $10/rotor.

Rotors and front pads were replaced at 67k miles. I am at 90k right now. Rotors were new.

These rotors arent warped. The first (factory) rotors that were on the car were turned and ended up warping. I dont know if it was from the turning or not. I have Brembos right now.

That would probably come from user error.

Have the rotors turned, replace pads, give time for pads to seat properly (no hard braking for a couple days...profit.
