[s-cars] apparently warped rotors, when hot

[Keith Maddock]

Steve,

You might be experiencing uneven pad material transfer to the rotor.
Spend a few minutes at the following links:

http://home.planet.nl/~annevelink/brakes.html

My guess is that you overheated the Red-Boxes, which don't have a very good high temperature range.
I went through a set of those pads in my S4 (ECS Stage II)  in one day at Wateford Hills, and would not recommend them for track usage.

However,we do have a set in the car right now, and they work great for normal usage.

Cheers,
Keith

A question to the list...

Does it make sense for front rotors to act warped after they heat up, but
not until then?
