Consistently Warped Rotors Driving Me Nuts
I've had an issue with the brakes in my 5KCSTQ for some time. I go to Audi
(dealer) and have the front rotors replaced on a 6-month (or so) rotation
(for free) due to the fact that they keep warping.
I'm on my 5th set in 2 years. They always warp, and they warp pretty
fast. Most people probably wouldn't notice it or care, but I'm anal. The
warping causes the shimmy when I hit the brakes at higher speeds (50 mph+).
Why does this keep happening? Is it the caliper? pads?
If none of the above, then should I convert to drilled or slotted rotors?
If so, who makes a good set? I saw a set at TAP, but they're steep
($2200). then again, everything is included..
TIA for as many of your thoughts and comments as possible.
Regards,
Richard
