turbomuz Member 209 Member For: 19y 9m 1d Location: Canberra Posted 26/03/06 10:15 PM Author Share Posted 26/03/06 10:15 PM Hard to say based on 2 pics and no actual infoPads may be leaching resin onto discDiscs may have been machined too many times and are thin........ so heat properties are lost (causing hot spots)May have picked up contaminants in the padAuto?.... sit on the brakes after hard stops..... allowing resin to deposit on the rotor ?Drive thru puddles or car wash? Water thru wheels onto hot disc is not a good thing.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>As far as I'm aware the discs have only been machined once. I use a car wash from time to time. These marks actually disappeared after a day at Wakefield Park but came back a few days later almost white in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
