Brake System Information

I found this page, it has some excellent information on high performance brakes, and braking theory in general.

Aah kick ass, lots of good reads there... But brake rotors don't warp?? Hmm... Interesting.

Apparently not, its all in the deposition of abrasive shit.

Yeah... I suppose that makes sense. But if you're measuring, how would one know the difference between pad material deposits vs actual warpage in the rotor?

Chicane brought this up it caused a stir. Guy is smart and they make a good product. But like I have said before put a dial indicator on a rotor it will tell you if its warped or not. Sure build up will cause a pulse as well but dont tell me metal doesn't warp. Esp the cheap chinese stuff thats out there .

Yeah maybe the author of the article only uses expensive brakes... being that he works for that company... hmmm.

That might explain why they don't warp.
