Re: Re: brake problems
I put cheap rotors on my Accord a year ago ...and they are causing
pedal pulsation.Warped..
But I’ll wait for a bit, because it’s a real pain to change them.

==========================
There was a very good discussion last fall (with links to various sites)
that dispelled the 'warped' theory (for me). Crap from the pads sticks
to the rotor making it glazed, which makes it grabby. Cure wasn't easy,
but possible.
Best explanation I've seen yet.
Anybody have that link ? ? ??

that can happen, but it's not the sole cause.

Re: Re: brake problems (warp theory - not space travel)
Oh, thanks! now I don’t have to feel guilty about cheaping out and
installing "value" rotors!
Perhaps cheap rotors and ceramic pads would be a good compromise!

It also would not explain physically measuring the warp with a run-out
gauge. I've measured rotors that had 0.003" - 0.005" or more of warp.
