Re: recurring brake rotor problem...

I worked at goodyear for several years, I am not the best brake specialist in the world, but I am probably one of the most experienced here in said field.

Your rotors are warped, you need to replace them, Ive always used crappy pads with no problems, and I decelerate from illegal speeds to 30mph often.

I worked for auto value, and when we stocked rotors, we threw them as frizbees, and dropped many, just because you bought "new" rotors, does not mean that they are true.

check the warranty status on your rotors, and warranty them.

You have to understand that napa uses the worst quality metal from china, old cars melted down do not make good rotors, the inconsistency of the metal causes warping sometimes.

brembo blanks are the best quality OEM rotor money can buy.

WTF!?

Point back to the cleaning of your hubs to see if that is causing the issue.

Also take your rotors in to have them turned, That will tell you for SURE if your rotor is warped or not. O'reilly does this service for you. if they aren't turnable they will tell you and not charge you. or just ask them to see if they are turnabout to begin with

You do realize a lot of Brembos are made in China with varying consistency right? I'd take a Centric Premium over a Brembo blank if given the choice at an equal price.
