> [@JClark](#): > > Resurfacing rotors takes material off of the rotor. If it costs you $25 to do, and you’re left with 15% rotor life left, it’s probably a better idea to spend the $40 and buy a new rotor. Also, it’s not a good idea to resurface slotted rotors since the machine will change depth when it hits the slot and the surface will be uneven and accelerate pad wear. > > If the problem is just pad deposits, change pads or bed them in again and hope that it will knock off the deposits. > > Pad deposits occur on the street mostly when you come off the northway at 212mph, slam on your brakes up the the stoplight, and keep your foot planted fusing the hot pads to the hot rotor. The edges of the pad will melt onto the rotor (you cant see it, we’re talking microns) and creating deposits. Pad runs over the deposits and jumps them causing the pulsing in the pedal you feel. > > Change to a different pad compound to scrub the deposits off, or bed them in again. Get them REAL hot and then allow them to cool without putting deposits back on the rotor. > > Shitty pads will cause deposits more than quality pads. also VERY true… :+1 for jesse actually taking time to write out what i was too lazy to. ---

I like how this went from a huge argument to some good info about brakes. And :crackup at “the stock camaro brakes aren’t good enough to stop it.” Yeah… maybe if it had a k20 swap. ---

Where to begin? > > Different types of rotors do NOT increase the stopping power of brake systems, they increase the cooling efficiency of brake systems. > > Cross drilled rotors in general are a bad idea because they are made improperly. They put them on high end performance cars because people want them because they look racey. 90% of race teams out there (ya know, the people that actually need to care about cooling efficiency?) do NOT USE CROSSDRILLED OR SLOTTED ROTORS! THEY USE BLANKS FOR DURABILITY! Good stuff man… Way to clear up misconceptions about rotors. If you see a cross drilled rotor that doesnt have chamfers in the holes to reduce stress concentrations and looks as if it was created as a blank rotor then swiss cheesed for that show quality effect, run away… ---
