Hey guys I would bet any money that your wheels weren't torqued correctly. I have 36k on my rotors without a hint of warping. My pads are low in the front but no warping. A 100k on Rear rotors doesn't surprise me at all considering the front does 75% of all breaking. You will usually get twice the life out of rear pads as you will out of front pads.

I had to foot the bill for a new passenger front rotor this afternoon because the guys at Monro broke a chunk of it off while pulling it off (with a hammer) to replace the wheel bearing.

I poured liquid nitrogen over my whole car so it will compress and fit in the garage more easily. I'm having some trouble starting it now, tho. Guess I'll try the hammer on it next.


It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.
