Hi all,
I've been in the SFSU for about 3 years, I've got 46k miles on it today. I had badly warped rotors that started about 20k miles, of course, I complained to the dealer and read the rules of the warranty I learned and expected that the rotors are not under warranty. I knew that but had to ask since I had a really bad shimmy in the front end maybe it was something else??... I ended up turning all 4 rotors by my mechanic's place, which made it better but still had the Grab n' Go's in simple stopping action, that got really bad especially stopping on a downgraded highway, it got terrible. so with a lot of research, I opted to replace the rotors and pads including the parking brake shoes (those buggers are hard to find and the hardware is even harder). I'm about 800 miles into the Z23 Powerstop upgraded rotors and Ceramic Zinc pads low dust, etc... WOW, what a difference in no more Grabn' Go's, NO MORE SHIMMY, and no NOises from the left rear... this was such a great investment. I didn't see any other post on t his so I thought id let you all know.
Awesome results and I'd definitely recommend the Z23 Powerstop upgrade kit w/ drilled/slotted rotors with Carbon Fiber Ceramic Pads. as a matter of fact here is the Amazon Link for the front and rear replacement: Amazon.com: Power Stop K8009 Z23 Evolution Sport Front & Rear Brake Kit- Brake Rotor and Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: Automotive
I added some pics as well, let me know if there are any questions or comments...
Have a great day!
