I had a couple of rotors turned today. This is the second set of rotors I have been through.....stock rotors.
Maybe this has been covered in previous threads....I couldn't find any so excuse me if it has. In every ones experience what are the best rotors to use. It seems like the stock rotor steel is too soft and I am on my third set. I like driving the car in the local mountain roads on the weekends but after a while the rotors seems to ridge ( particulary the front) prematurely. Sorry no sexy pictures but it just seems like the stock ones go bad to soon. Rob |

Make sure you use the Zimmerman rotors. For a while there were rotors made in South American that were crap! They were out of round and out of balance. The original Textar pads show up from time to time on Ebay. Keep the parts original German for best results.
