Re: Warped Rotors after The Glen

Suprised to hear you warped them after a race! I usually do 3 or 4 quick
stops from 80+ to heat them up and then drive around for 10 minutes to cool
everything down equally. Works good on non audis also. I believe (thank you
Peter) they warp because they get hot, then you stop and hold the pads
against the rotor in one spot - the rest of the rotor cools  - the part
under the pads doesn't, resulting in warpage.
