[QUOTE="Gumby, post: 1948021, member: 65674"] There are reasons why composite rotors warp. things to look at 1..Torque your Lugnuts 2...Wire wheel or cookie the hub of the truck. (thing with the lug studs) should be smooth. I lightly grease the surface 3...Old rotors do the same inside and the outside. 4...Also do the mount points for the pad hanger and spindle 5...Lastly clean up the wheel. the wheel will build up rust on the back side of the aluminum/magnesium. This is often forgotten and a important step. A quality rotor should last past the life of the pad. I have over 350K on my 02 F250 I only replace the rotors when they mic under the minimum. I have warped a set or 2 Get lazy and didn't check the tire guys work. If I don't check there work it is when they didn't torque lug and that Will warp the rotor faster than anything. I would say Pad choice is not a factor in Warping..... More than likely one of the 5 things I listed is the culprit. A little light grease between the wheel and the rotor will help with build up on the wheel. Since you rotate or should rotate your tires every 5K on these raptors It should be easy to keep an eye and the back of the wheel. [/QUOTE]
