How many kms on avg are you getting between sets Pixy? Think im starting to get shudder back at times. Its only done like 20k I think...but noticed very strong shudder when doing heavy braking (and once really bad from playng with a VE)...but not sure if its boiling the fluid or something (has penrite fluid so decent boiling point I think). Its fine when you drive normally, so guessing it doesnt need a skim just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was full vehicle vibrations from semi decent speed if that makes a difference. But as said its fine the majority of time, so not sure if full vibrations while braking is the norm if youve boiled the fluid.

I was lucky to get 8k out of mine before I needed new rotors. Keep in mind the srt pads are pretty hard in the rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I travel a few bit and tow a caravan up and down the coast so If I get 12 months out of them im happy. If your getting really back brake shudder I say you're up for new ones mate. Machining the rotor might not even be a option good chance it's new all round. I never put a price on brakes and safety especially when I have my family in the car and when towing I like my car to be prefect just in case I get pulled over for inspection or have an accident. You just never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was I not reading that people get 80-100k out of a set of rotors (with one machine in between). I must be misreading stuff....wouldnt be the first time though lol And yeh good points Pixy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
