SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
WHILE IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, IF NOT BETTER THAN AVERAGE CONDITIONS INCLUDING LONG TRIPS, EVERY 3000 MILES OR SO, THE FRONT ROTORS WARP FROM THE HEAT GENERATED OVER SHORT PERIODS OF TIME WITH FULL AMOUNTS OF BRAKE PAD. MANY MECHANICS AND SERVICE MANAGERS ADMITT TO THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED TO ME AS DUE TO THE ROTORS BEING TOO THIN AND THE PADS HAVING TOO MUCH METAL MAKEUP. AN "ENGINEERING PROBLEM" AS IT WAS UNOFFICIALLY REFERED TO. THE ROTORS ARE NOT THICK ENOUGH, AND/OR NOT ENOUGH AIR TO COOL THE COMPONENTS. RECOMENDATIONS FROM BOTH INDEPENDENT ASE MECHANICS AS WELL AS GM DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEES (UNOFFICIALLY) WAS TO PURCHASE EITHER SLOTTED "RACING" ROTORS OR TRY CERAMIC NON-METAL PADS FROM OTHER SOURCES. THIS HAS APPARENTLY GONE ON SINCE 1998 ON BOTH FIREBIRDS AND CAMAROS.*AK
