OEM must be serious crap then, because I warped the rotors on a brand new Toyota Corolla within 8 months of purchase. :) I usually get 2+ years out of the cheap eBay junk.

Not sure what to get if I want to avoid it, since Toyota makes trash rotors. Slotted and drilled willwood, I suppose! Nahhh... *much* cheaper to just put on fresh junk every 2 years instead!

Toyota makes good parts for anyone to warp rotors this fast maybe one should change there driving habits first cos it wont matter what u use ...2 yrs on my Toyota rotors and they are perfect ,even wear and no issues at all.



I find ppl like to blame parts but in all honesty its 95% operator's fault for stuff going early and luck of maintenance.

Honestly, I agree, I was just pointing out that you had already judged my driving to not be the cause and that it was because I bought cheap rotors. Now do you believe me? Well, seems you do. Thanks.

My driving habits have kept me accident free for 11 years. It was before I used the hell out of the brakes I had accidents. I'll keep doing what I do, because I can't afford $7500 a year insurance! :)
