Hey Scott, I have to disagree with the buying or not buying the cheap rotors. I used to buy the more expensive rotors that the stores carried. Usually Bosch, durajunk, or acdelco ( oe for my car). Every single set warped withing 6 months. I bought a complete Detroit Axle kit for $136. The rotors are perfect for being 2 years old and the pads still have 1/4 inch of meat on them.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Remember as long as there are no leaks, the brake fluid in the master cylinder should go down. When the level is at low, your pads are probably ready for replacement.

[@williammcdorman6426]

A lot of people don't know that, I've seen cars that all the paint was stripped off the fire wall because of filling a low reservoir and then chang their brakes later.

[@adamfroese2915]

Fair enough but you would have to check for leaks on all four calipers to prove there is no leaks anyway, you'd see the brake pads in the process so it kind of defeats the purpose

[@ryans413]

Fair enough but most people don’t understand completely how the brake system works. They see the fluids low so they top it off. When comes time to do the brakes they don’t understand pushing the piston back pushes the fluid back and the master cylinder overflows. So it’s still best too take a flashlight just look between the tire and the rotor see the thickness that’s left just turn the tire outwards so you can look from the side more easy that way and the back tires just try to look best you can. I’ve seen my moms car her brakes were low but her master cylinder was full to the full line cause she toped it off.

[@danielgoodman3578]

For when the fluid goes down faster because of a leak as opposed to pad wear, OBSERVE: if you drive a standard and the reservoir is shared for brake and clutch, check your clutch master and slave cylinder for leaks in addition to the brakes. Your brakes may be otherwise golden.

[@johnboon5330]

You meant to say reservoir, not cylinder. Right?

[@devincook3246]

[@oneslackr]

I've never had any warped rotors on any car I've personally owned since I started driving 36+ years ago. Though I had a company car back in '99 (Chevy Malibu) that had an issue with warped rotors which were replaced under warranty. I really hope I never have to replace the carbon ceramic rotors on my Z06 since they are $1,600+/each but then again they can handle way more heat so warping isn't an issue.

I've been buying cheap rotors and he's quite right. They last me about 20 000km before the vibration causes my false teeth to fall out.

[@jah0524]

In hundreds of thousands of miles of driving, I have never had to change a brake rotor. I have never had one warp. I have had to sand them with garnet sandpaper to remove brake residue that causes the brakes to pulsate. But I have never had a warped rotor and I make sure to change the brake pads before they wear down to the metal.

[@RED_LINE]

Drilled rotors help dissipate and reduce heat on the rotor surface which reduce the risk of warpage, brake fade and increase performance.

[@briankdaniels]

Scotty, is it possible to warp the rotors by over tightening the lug nuts? I've worked in a tire shop before and was told that by one of the tire techs.

[@CherrySquishee]

Proper sequence and tightening is also important. You can get a ½ torque wrench for 15.00 ar Harbor Freight.

[@raphaelrodrigues1645]

It is. But over tightening the lug nuts, or even worse, the lug bolts you can get lots of problems. The studs can develop a crack that would make them snap overtime, they can snap immediately, you can destroy the threads of the wheel hub or the studs, you can leave the car owner stranded with a flat tire because they can't take the nut/bolt off to change the tire and so on. A good mechanic would torque the wheels with a torque wrench with the right torque spec.

[@CherrySquishee]
