Re: How are my "warped" stock rotors unwarping themselves?
When I installed my ART Cryogenically-treated rotors, the installation instructions heavily emphasized a bedding-in procedure. The claim is that the procedure deposits a layer of pad material on the rotors that helps increase the friction. They say to re-do the procedure if the brakes exhibit any vibration.
It makes me wonder if the variations to this deposition layer are possible of exhibiting the same symptoms as warped rotors and thickness variation. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
I couldn't help but to also wonder if the same procedure wouldn't have re-applied this layer to my OEM rotors, thereby eliminating a potentialy unnecessary expense. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
After I bought them and installed them. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I really like the extra stopping power that I now have, but if I had known then what I think I know now . . . I would have tried the bedding-in procedure on my OEM stuff before dropping $400 on aftermarket pads and rotors. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
