Hello guys, hope you all are doing good, ok here is the deal, I recently bought rotors and pads from brakemotive, they have been on the car for maybe 500 miles and the driver side front rotor has a couple of black spots what could it be?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

If you did it the way you mentioned that definitely could have been the cause of the hot spots.

i braked severely on mine did the proper "break-in" and i got hot spots on the outer edges of my rotors, i have the same as you. i can feel a little bit of the warped rotors in very light braking... nowhere else though. mine are still stoppin on the dime and give ya 9 cents o' change, rubberballs on the backs of my shoes settin my pants on fire

Yeah pretty much. If there was a made in USA set of brakes that was also good quality well then I'd be more apt to get those. But when they're all made in China, well... Brakemotive has a good track record, possible they had a bad batch maybe? Dunno. I've had no issues with any of their brakes so far, neither has my boss and he is really hard on stuff lol.

Mine had bad spots too. I followed their break in procedure exactly. They sent me new rotors under warranty. Have yet to install the new ones yet to see if they repeat the issue.
