Hey all. It's time to replace my warped rotors (left it too long...rrrghhh). From searching on here I see that a few people have used the cheaper "Made in China" or "Auto-Zone" rotors with Hawk pads and had good experiences with them. The car is strictly a driver so it won't see much hard use.

I'm just being cautious here and double checking that I've got my facts straight before I get myself into a mess. Let me know if I'm asking for trouble, please.

Thanks all!

Greg

 

You should be fine with the cheaper Rotors. They warp when beat on, or have really harsh road course pads used on them.

 

nah you should be fine. dont some of them have lifetime warranty too?

 

Thanks for the replies, guys

I don't recall if the ones I got have the lifetime warranty or not; seems to me these ones in particular didn't. (This is Canadian Auto-Value so the service levels may be different when it comes to stuff like that).

I think I warped mine by driving through puddles. Feel kind of dumb for it now but it was fun at the time. I plan on taking it easy on them in any case

(as a side note; I found out that my buddy has never had the brakes replaced on his Del Sol and he has 90k - 100k miles on it!! How the hell is he doing that!?!?)

Thanks again!

Greg
