My 2 cents worth

Sorry guys but I think it's bull that u need to use a torque wrench. I have never experiences worped discs as a result of not using a torque wrench on wheel studs. I would try different pads before replacing the discs, perhaps they have not been bedded in peoperly.

I love it. Try typing "warped rotors overtorqued" into Google and you'll find pages and pages of references, because overtorquing is the most likely cause of warped rotors. Maybe you're not strong enough to overtorque yours .
