    Warped rotors???

    I guess my rotors are warped. Every now and then for a few seconds, when i am coasting my brakes make a high pitch noise. It comes and goes.

    That noise could also mean that your brake pads are worn. Warped rotors usually sound like metal grinding. At least mine did.

    Drama? I handle 150lb rotties all day, I can handle your drama...

    :twisted: warped rotors make like a deep knocking noise sometime but most of the time it make soyur steering wheel or pedal vibrate but the high pitch is just probably dust between the pad and rotor :twisted:

    yea, the sound is high pitched and really loud. Also, is there a specific size of brake pad or are they all universal?

    brake pads are NOT universal. i'd get rotors and pads from raceconcepts.net. it actually FITS the car, and they're brembo rotors, so they'll never warp, and they generate a lot less heat than regular ones. and the pads are high performance. oh yeah, its cheaper than OEM anything.
