Fitted RDA slotted rotors and Bendix GCT pads - ran them in properly - and in two months down the track the rotors have warped - not a happy camper now. Standard fairmont brakes cept for the slotted rotors.
Pulling the rotors off to get machined soon and want to fit different pads this time so what are the best recommended pads to go with these rotors and what would be postage to 6233 please |

There are many factors as to why rotors can warp after being fitted to a vehicle from incorrect fitment to heavy braking.I have also spoken to Bendix about there GCT pads and they have had similar instances with these pads used with slotted rotors but it isn't always warping but sometimes the resins from the pads leaving deposits on the rotor face causing high spots which feel like warping as they have a similar feeling. Is the car driven quiet sedate or is the car heavily braked and used for towing etc as this can also be the cause of all these issues. We have pads from $60 and freight is $12 thanks

The car is driven fairly moderately - occasionally 'spirited' driving but never sudden heavy braking deliberately. Seldom does heavy towing - 3 or 4 times per year. What brand and model pads do you do for $60 and what is the next choice up from there? Cheers |

I'd be interested in either the Ferodos or the TRWs. I'll be doing the rotors in about 2-3 weeks time. Any idea of when you'll have stock in?
