BREMBO SIX-PISTON BRAKE SYSTEM.

How can I make my rotors last longer?

Do I really need new rotors?

If your rotors appear warped or worn beyond the recommended discard thickness, they'll recommend having them replaced along with your brake pads. If your rotors seem okay, some shops will recommend having them resurfaced along with the new pads.

Do brake rotors wear out?

Like brake pads, brake rotors wear out over time. Brake rotors must meet a certain thickness requirement to be considered safe. If they are thinner than the manufacturer's recommended thickness, then you need to replace your brake rotors immediately.

What do bad brake rotors sound like?

If you have brake rotors that are worn or bad (warped, gouged, or cracked), they will make various sounds. Rotors that are warped and not flat will create squealing or squeaking noises. If the rotors are too worn, there may be scraping noises instead.

Rotors should be replaced in pairs, and should be the same type (composite or cast) as the original. New rotors are ready-to-install out of the box and should require no additional resurfacing (doing so only shortens their life and risks creating runout and vibration problems).

Is it better to turn rotors or replace?

If your rotor surface is smooth there is generally no need to have them turned. If, however, you have warping, or rough spots they should be turned, or replaced if need be. This is easily detected if you have a solid, non-pulsing braking action when you press down on the pedal.

Do rear rotors last longer than front?

Unless there is damage from road debris or worn-out brake pads, rear rotors should last two or three times longer than front rotors. If brake pad wear and rotor width measurements are significantly different side to side, the calipers should be checked for damage or failure and replaced along with the pads and rotors.
