[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 8963, member: 2"] Because I am such a hack, I ended up stopping from a fast pace one time and didn't let the car slowly roll as I was stopped there to let the rotors cool evenly so I left little deposits on the rotors from the brake pads. Side note: Rotors do not warp, what happens when you do what I did is that the pad leaves residue on the disk plus the heat from braking changes the chemistry of the rotor causing the part that is heated under the pad to harden as it is not allowed to cool at the same rate as the other part of the disk. The end result is that this hardened area does not wear as quickly as the other part of the rotor. The combination of pad material and less wear on that spot causes the pedal to pulse which we call warp. Anyway, my brake peddle pulses a bit and I would like to eventually upgrade to C6 Z51 Rotors. I know you need different mounting brackets for the C5 calipers to fit the C6 Z51 rotors. Does anyone have experience with this or has anyone made this mod? [/QUOTE]
