Question about rotors...
My rotors are warped again(nothing new)and have been turned before. The truck has 70k on it now. My question is should I replace them or turn them again. They are thick enough to turn again, but I was thinking they might not balance correctly, since they would be cut more on the high sides. Also Im going with a ceramic pad, anyone try these yet?

I'd replace them with some nice aftermarket ones myself. I would like ot hear about these ceramic pads too. However, the rotors I am going with come with pads already. (ART)
HEY! Why don't you get 'em, try them out and write up a little report?!

ford rotors suck go with aftermarket. I have heard of Porche using a ceramic rotor but never pads. So let us know what you find. Rember though if you are having rotor problems a different pad may only cause more heat which will create an even bigger problem.

Question about rotors...
Well I got the new pads and had the front rotors turned, and the damn thing is still vibrating when I brake. I guess i'll do the rears next.. BTW the pads are Raybestos Quiet Stop ceramic pads.. very quiet and work real good so far..

Question about rotors...
Well it was the rears all along, I had them turned and replaced the rear pads and now its smooth again. I thought the rear pads would out last the fronts, but they both had even wear(front to rear)
