I have a 99 Civic EX and my brakes suck. The front rotors have warped twice. I am wondering if Teg brakes are much better. I am putting the Teg rear set up on my ride. Has anyone had problems with rear rotors warping?

 

No problems here, and I definetly havn't herd of any chronic warping problems.

Have you been overtorquing your lug nuts?

 

Rotor warpage is usually due to either improperly tightening the wheel lug nuts (unevenly) or spraying it w/ cold water right after driving.

I'm pretty sure Civic EX and Integras share the same front brakes. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

 

The rotors are the same and the calipers are slightly different (although I don't know how). No one else with warping problems?

damn and i've done both

 

Stock teg dics tend to warp. Mine did and many others on this board also. Brembo blanks are a great remplacemnt and will last longer. A good set of pads and you'll love the brakeig performance you will recieve....

 

i warped my stock rotors, them my brembo cross-drilled, now i'm working on warping my brembo blanks with stock pads.

&lt;----- uses torque wrench every time upon tightening lugs.

 

I installed front rotors from AutoZone (only ~$23 each, and they had them in stock) about 30K miles ago, tighten the lug nuts w/ only a torque wrench, and I try my best to not hit them w/ water when they are hot, and I've had no warping problems.

 

What about driving in the rain? Could that warp your rotors? I only asked 'cuz it just started pouring here in Houston and I had been driving for about 15-20 min.

 

nah, otherwise everybody would always have warped rotors

When you drive in the rain I don't really think that much water gets on the rotor, especially if the tires are doing its job of pushing out the water from underneath it.

The "warp" factor only come into play if you disc has been heated up (ex. excessively hard brakeing on a warm day) and then encouters a very cold substance (i.e. water). Metal does not stand up very well to lage variations in temp from hot to cold...

Don't go racing around after a rain storm, heat up your brakes and plow through a large puddle...

 

Also dont wash your car right after driving it, then hose down the rotors
