Does anyone know if it truly is a "warp" of the rotor versus an embed of the brake pad material on the SURFACE of the rotor causing a "rough" surface that makes it feel like a warped rotor?
I've heard both scenarios...if it is the pad material embedding...couldn't a different (i.e. non-factory type) pad material be used to avoid it?
I've just had my rotors turned and don't want to go down the same path again...and don't want to spend $300 on rotors and pads if only a different pad material would fix it too?
Just thinking...
Edit:...OOPS...didn't see Monsta's post...sounds like he is on the side of pad material vs actual warpage...so...what type of pad material is the "preferred"?...I tow about 9000#'s...so ceramics are not preferred by me since they take a while to heat up and that translates to longer stops...
