So I love this car but this thing warps rear rotors in about 20k miles. Now the rotors I'm currently using are autozone duralasts, single disc. Pads are Duralast Cmax ceramic front and back. I bought them after the OEM rotors(new OEM's@30k when I bought the car) warped at 50k.
These duralasts are $25 each and I am on the 3rd set of replacements now(getting my pennies out of the 2yr warranty)
The last time they warped I was getting a low spot on my tires as the brake applied more grip at exactly the same spot everytime... I just got new tires and I really don't want this happening to my nice new conti's.
Caliper pins slide freely when I change pads/rotors. This car is just heavy and I think the brake controller gives to much clamp on the rear brakes.
I have contemplated buying more expensive rotors but @up to $75 and no warranty I am very hesitant as these may get warped just as fast and then I'd be screwed.
So tell me if this idea is completely impossible or is it possible. Could I buy another set of front calipers, heat shields and front rotors and put them on the rear? This would give me bigger vented brakes in the rear and allow for better cooling, less chance to warp, etc? Toss my quarter into the wishing well.
