Re: Warped Rotors????? I installed my new Eradispeeds today and the left front rotor showed a bit of warping, I have 67,000 miles on all 4 factory rotors, and I to have heard nothing but bad things about stock rotors warping with very low miles.

Warped Rotors????? My `02 Z's steering wheel wobbles and the car tends to pull to one side under hard braking.I think this is warped rotors but this seems odd because I only have 16K miles.Ideas anyone? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Warped Rotors????? It's law...all GM rotors warp sooner or later. No matter how many times you re-surface them. A couple of days ago there was a post about after-market brake rotors with Autozone getting great reviews for an inexpensive stock replacement and at a good price, check it out...

Re: Warped Rotors????? on my 2000 v6 camaro my stock front rotors were warped pretty bad at 12k miles. On my 2001 formula my stock rotors were warped really bad AND cracked at 7000 miles. I put powerslots on both cars, the 2000 camaro has about 30k miles on it now and the powerslots are still in perfect condition. I've put about 3500 miles on the formula since the new rotors went on and they're still holding up great.
I have heard the the autozone replacement rotors are much better quality and are FAR cheaper than the powerslots. It's been my experience so far that any rotor on the car with the GM pads will warp and/or crack. I put Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads on the camaro, and Hawk HPS Performance pads from thunder racing on the formula. The Hawk's seem to grip a little bit better, but they were almost 3x the cost.
