Car Forum / Acura Cars / November 2009Warped Rotors on 2001 CL type S
I think its pretty much an accepted fact Hondas and Acuras from the early 2000's has brake warping issues. My '01 CL type S is no exception. hat are my options to stop this from happening? I am a graduate student so money is an issue. Is there a set of cross drilled rotors I can gat at a decent price? What about slotted?

You can try that and waste your money, or you can read this: http://www.brakeandfrontend.com/topics/546/RotorsDrums.aspx Many articles there on brake problems, including vibration. Actual "warping" is the LEAST common cause of brake vibration.

Also based on my research - slotted and cross drilled rotors on a street car is a waste. Better quality normal rotors might be in order - there have to be some that won't break the bank. >> Justin <justin@nobecauseihatespam.com> wrote in news:hcrchl$fdt$1 >> @news.eternal-september.org: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > I did my research?

Evenness of torque between the lug nuts has little or nothing to do with it. > Also based on my research - slotted and cross drilled rotors on a > street car is a waste.

Before you spend even one penny on crappy aftermarket, try reading some of those articles in the page I referenced above. Especially, go to the 4th page in, and see the article entitled "10 of Your Top Brake Pulsation Questions".

Will do. I'm not doing anything for a while so I have time. > I think its pretty much an accepted fact Hondas and Acuras from the > early 2000's has brake warping issues. > My '01 CL type S is no exception. hat are my options to stop this from > happening?

I finally got a new set of discs (which didn't cost that much) and made sure I always checked the torque with my own wrench whenever the wheels had been off. Never had a problem again once I made sure no one was overtightening it. My problems with warped rotors on my 03 TL went away after I replaced them with aftermarket rotors, got the heavy duty ones. Has been great since.
