Brakes
Ok, I have a fairly simple question. Why do I have to replace the
rotors every time I replace the pads ? After 66,000 miles, the rear
breaks are still in good condition, both rotors and pads, while the
front brakes required new rotors and new pads twice. I understand the
some weight shifting to the front when breaking, and break line
pressure adjustment to prevent rear break lock up, but I owned other
cars before (non-Audis) that were not as bad as this one. My old cars
never required new rotors with new pads. I thought until now that
rotors can be re-surfaced and voila. Does my car has a problem or
does everybody out there experiences the same problem ?
Shifting gears, I know there was a discussions on tires for Quattros
but I don't recall the recommended ones.
