Has anyone warped their rotors using EBC's??? My brake pulsing is getting worse.....

This is a definite warpage issue (I went through 6 sets of rotors on my probe)....

I'm set up for my 20K in a few weeks and I'll have them true the rotors (I'm sure on my dime), but wanted to know if others have experiences this....

Thanks

Incorrect torquing of wheel bolts can make pulsing worse...

by slightly warping the rotor. Torque in two stages (maybe 60 then 89 lb-ft)using the star pattern. Sometimes people using a locking bolt don't torque it as tight as the others or don't include it in the star sequence.

Pulsing can result from very little distortion, maybe the thickness of a sheet of paper.

You might try loosening then retightening all wheel bolts. Couldn't hurt...might help.
