Re: brake problems
Rear brakes that are not working properly will cause the front rotors to
warp in a hurry. Had the rotors replaced/resurfaced 4 times, problem
kept coming back every 1500 miles. The cause was the rear brakes were not
working at all.

whoever told you that was blowing smoke. rear brakes hardly work at all
under hard braking - that's what the proportioning valve is for.
potting around town won't warp your disks.

Re: brake problems
Fact remains, 0 rear brakes means the front do 100%. that additional
25-40% extra heat on the front rotors caused massive overheating. Btdt got
the tea shirt.
Might not be common, but in my case it was the cause.
Wheel bolt torque has nothing to do with brake warping either, Drove a car
for almost 2 years with 3 out of 4 lug nuts installed (didnt know it was
missing) never had a brake problem on that car. Rust underneath the
rotor/hub flange is a different story however, very frequent problem in the
NW.

Might not be common, but in my case it was the cause.
Wheel bolt torque has nothing to do with brake warping either, Drove a car
for almost 2 years with 3 out of 4 lug nuts installed (didnt know it was
missing) never had a brake problem on that car. Rust underneath the
rotor/hub flange is a different story however, very frequent problem in the
NW.

Re: brake problems
Fact remains, 0 rear brakes means the front do 100%. that additional
25-40% extra heat on the front rotors caused massive overheating. Btdt got
the tea shirt.

with respect, the temperature reached by disks, even in extreme use, is
nowhere /near/ that necessary to actually warp. you can race an integra
on standard 10.25" disks no problem, and those things get HOT.

not true. the hub on hondas is very lightweight - it elastically
distorts if torque is not even.

2 years without inspection??? that's truly bizarre.
