sl3196 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Did you ever hose them off when the rotors were still hot? I've heard this can cause warping. Other than that I would just say typical w-body brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpion_x9 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 If you didn't torque the lug nuts down at 100ft-lb and follow a star pattern while tightening, that can do that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Warped rotors usually caused by seized rear brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 rotors usually warp honesly because of cheap construction (not using a good metal to begin with) and then stopping quickly from high speed can warp them very easily too. if they are really cheap rotors, they can warp too from just regular braking. --Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
