This is a 2012 thread, recently mined. Warped rotors or otherwise misaligned aren't any more prone to squealing than straight ones in my experience. Also, most 'warped' rotors are actually a buildup of pad material. Chamfering the pads, around 30 degrees on both the leading and trailing edge is the most effective practice I've encountered. (Speaking as a qualified mechanic, but I'm not a brake specialist) I'm a huge fan of Hawk Performance Ceramic pads with the only downside being a little less initial bite when cold. __________________ 2001 Boxster S, TipTronic in Seal Grey aka "The Imp" 2001 TE50, ESS in (now) Grigio Titanio Matallizzato aka "The Golden child" Last edited by TrumpyAl; 09-22-2017 at 02:25 AM.
