Not Warped Rotors... What Is It?
I have a 2000 Boxster S with factory rotors and pads. Have done several DEs with no issues. This weekend I experienced the followingIn the middle of day #2 the following started to happen:
When the brakes were hot and I was doing heavy breaking from high speeds (example breaking from ~ 115 mph the car felt like I was braking on a "washboard" surface, meaning that the car became a bit unstable and started to "wobble" This was NOT the ABS, which feels different, I also did not have brake fading and I had pretty much the same brake distance as before, so the brakes generally still worked great. And it only happened after a few laps when the brakes were hot. When the brakes are cold everything feels normal. I checked runout and have 0.001" or less on each rotor, no cracking or signs of any pad material buildup. Pads have at least 8mm of material left. Ideas?.. |
My guess is that the pad material was being deposited unevenly on the rotor when very hot, then scrubbed off on slower corners and when driving normally. I would suggest trying a higher temp brake pad.

Are you sure they are not warped? What method did you use to check? Loosen the lug nuts and re-torque them properly. Uneven torque on the lug nuts can cause this.

I mention it only because I recently noticed mine were a lot less torqued than they should be. They seem like pretty important fasteners to not come loose! |

Mr. Stone is correct imho. Solve by fitting top quality pads. Hawk, EBC,Akebono ?Others will mention their favorites.
