After years in the auto service industry and teaching with Ford, it is all too common to see people with this issue.
JHV48, I suggest contact Superformance, let them know what car you have; ask them to provide the details on your brakes and then either get the minimum thickness spec from them or Wilwood for resurfacing. Or buy new rotors with the information you receive about your brakes. |
lol, hilarious - ask at Ford if they heard about Carroll Smith and the GT40 program ;-)
In another thread about brakes I referred to Mac Tilton. Nobody wanted to hear about that either and asked instead who the man is. Well, go-ogle it. He is basically a “nobody” in the brake industry.
"warped" disk means: deposits of pad/friction material.
Take a flapper disk and sand it off (but you didn't hear that from me).
Or, like the service industry prefers, buy a new disk - from Superformance :-)
In the EU we also advise to replace disk. It's more cost effective. Labour is expensive.
I worked in service readiness, too. I would have to check my own manuals, but we may not even list a disk minimum thickness anymore. Replace disks and pads when pads are worn and get on with life.
