EBC damage OEM rotors?

cooperlee · 05-02-2010, 10:50 PM

I have on EBC reds for about 4k miles and the rotors seems to be warp. Now the steering wheel rattles under higher speed braking.... does anyone have this same problem? Shoujld i replace with oem rotors or go with slotted ones?

I have EBC reds and Frenetik slotted and drilled rotors. After aprox. 2K miles no problem.

there are a couple of factors that contribute to warped rotors. Aside from heat, if your lug bots are unevenly torqued (or torqued too much), it will cause the rotors to warp if they get heated up from heavy braking.

factory replacement rotors should be fine, but make sure the lug bolts are torqued evenly, and not beyond spec.
