Default What about the rears?

Have you upgraded your rears too? Or did you just upgrade the fronts?

Default You would be amazed on how easy you can warp the rotors...

Have someone go on a long highway trip and do some braking at high speeds. Then immediately get it washed. Spraying cold water on warm rotors can warp them. They don't need to be hot. That's something that can happen to many people doing average everyday driving.

As for weight differences, the OEM rotor weighs at 17.5 lbs each. The 2 piece floating rotor weighs at 13.5 lbs each. That's 4 lbs of unsprung weight reduced from each front wheel.

I've only done the fronts. Not sure if I want/need to do anything to the rears.

Default Makes me wonder how well rotors can handle sudden rainfalls, or puddles...

Pretty scary thought that they'd warp just like that...
