drilled brake discs

The EBC Red Stuff pads are quite an improvement over the stock pads. Much better initial bite, no heat fade, and almost zero brake dust on your wheels.

It is not likely that the EBC pads are causing the rotors to warp. I've driven my car with EBC RedStuff pads on the track until the brake sensors have melted without any rotor issues.

I'm not saying they caused the rotors to warm. I'm saying there may be uneven pad deposits on the rotors.

Uneven deposits often happens after track days.
Here's what I do when my rotors are "warped" - the most common misdiagnosis for the deposits and shuddering you describe.

Spray a fine mist over the rotors at the end of the day, a full hosing down works too.

Let the car sit at least overnight, giving the water a chance to get under the deposits and start to oxidize the surface of the rotors.

In the morning (or whenever) do your best too avoid stepping on the brakes until you get the car up to 30 mph or better and then stab the brakes hard. Repeat 2x.

The deposits will be magically scraped away and the rotors will be fine until you need to do it again.

wont cold water affect the discs when thy are still hot?
Pat, are you saying that the ebc red stuff might emmit uneven brake deposits compared to stock pads?

I'm saying many people misinterpret uneven pad deposits as warped rotors. It can happen with many, if not most, types of pads.

since ebs red stuff are meant to emmit less dust than some other types of pads i thought that theyll have an advantage

I'm sure he means wet the discs when they're cold, to generate a little surface rust overnight.
