I am sure that I have a Warper rotor on the front of my car. It has been giving me the shakes for a while but I did not want to replace it until I needed to do the brakes. I still dont need to do the brakes but I do need tires so I thought I would do it all at one time. Both rotors, pads, tires, and allignment.

I picked up the address for www.irotors.com from the board and asked them for the price of rotors that are not the sport drilled sloted type of stuff. I really just want better and cheeper than OEM without going to autozone. They have Brembo rotors for $70 ( I hope that is for both) and recomended Axxis Metal Master pads are $40.

I have heard of Brembo and know them to be a good company, but have not had any contact with the pads people. Are they good? what kind of millage is normal for them? Do you know of any pads that are good but in the $20 range?

I have a 97 S and still have the Factory OEM pads. They still have some wear available and have 60K on them.

Any info or opinions would be welcome.

 

If you need tires, it may just be the tires that are causing your wobble. I got new rotors for the front of my car, and it turned out it was the tires... Got new tires, problem solved. So the tires first (since you need em anyway), and go form there.

Getting cross drilled rotors... How often are you really going to be heating up your brakes to the point of needing them? I run stock teg brakes, and have never gotten them to float at the track or autox....
I'd get stock replacements, or brembo blanks, and a nice set of Porterfield pads.

 

Not getting Drilled.

Were to get Porterfield pads?

The tires have been rotated with no change in my wobble. And it only gets the wobble when I am on the brakes. An usually only when at a high speed. > 75

Dad has a dial caliper so I will check the run out before changing anything.

 

EBC brake rotors from www.tirerack.com Get those rotors and the EBC Green Stuff pads. TRUST ME.

 

$210 A bit out of my price range.

 

http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/ If I remember right, they're about 75 bucks for the front pads... My friend put them on his CRX, and that thing HAULED to a stop. Just not sure which compound he had. Pretty sure it was the most basic.

 

Thanks for the web address.


anyone have an Opinion on the Axxis Metal Master pads?

 

Any metallic pad is going to suck until it warms up...

 

but worth it when you need to stop on a dime. Get the pads now, rotors later.
