I will replace my pads this season. should i change the rotors too? Or do one at a time..to determine the problem. My tires were actually pritty new at the time...very little wear... now their worn... alittle uneven due to the number of sharp right turns at cayuga...(several track days there)

Yes they are OEM Pads and rotors... and original... but the pads still had some left on them...

 

I have been under the impression that just because there is still some meat on the pads does not mean they aren't toast.

 

Good call clag.

Im looking into some carbotech panther Plus pads... seem to suit my needs. Something to start with and work good for street too... Any suggestions?
Where to buy besides carbotech.com.... its not working right now

 

Depending upon what kind of driving you do would dictate whether or not you should replace the rotors. Do your rotors have cracks on them? Is there a lip just on the outside of the rotor where the brake pad doesn't touch the rotor? At 23k miles, I have gone through three sets of pads and four sets of tires.

If your rotors have excessive wear, I would just replace everything and do it right the first time, then do a thorough flush of the system.


Damn dude

 

i just started tracking my car this past year. It looks like the rotors are OK but im going to pull the pads out and get a good look. I'm probably just going to change the rotors too so next time i go to the track i dont have problems.. I changed the fluid last year... but will probaby switch to ATE super blue.

 

Sounds good

 

I just took out the pads.. and this is how they look

 

If your rotors are not worn out, just change the pads for now.

Make sure you bed in the new pads, and see if the problem persists. From what you are describing, I don't think your rotors are "warped". Because if that is the case, you would be getting vibrations at even a low speed.

I am running the Hawk HP+, but you saw how loud noisy my brakes were last time at shannonville.

Good luck.

 

btw, your picture doesn't work
