your pads warped? :roll:
- ScottyB - 05-01-2004
no silly, the rotors warped, but its due to the fact that i dont have the proper pads. i remember one of the OG's posted up a link to a website that explains that you dont actually "warp" the rotor, the wobbling comes from brake pad deposits on the rotor, or something to that effect.
ah here's the link:

if the vibration is just starting, vigorous scrubbing with garnet paper may remove the deposit. As many deposits are not visible, scrub the entire friction surfaces thoroughly. Do not use regular sand paper or emery cloth as the aluminum oxide abrasive material will permeate the cast iron surface and make the condition worse. Do not bead blast or sand blast the discs for the same reason.
so no, do not sandpaper the rotors

you (or whoever you stole that from) may want to tell that to larry from carbotech. he's the one who recommended sandpapering to remove deposits to me.

there's nothing at all wrong with sandpaper or emory cloth.
aluminum oxide abrasive material? wtf did you get that from?

i just read, that is all

the article also said that if you get some semi-metallic pads and set them in supposedly that will get rid of deposits too (if they're not too bad).
