The pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, steering wheel and in the driver’s seat. The causes and symptoms of BTV are different than pulsation caused by disc thickness variation due to lateral run out. BTV happens any time there’s there is a variation of torque across the face of … Read More

How to Choose the Best Brake Rotors for Safer Stops Quick Summary Many rotors on the market today are cheaply made overseas with lighter-weight castings, fewer cooling vanes, cheaper metallurgy, and inadequate protective coating. That means more noise, faster wear, warped rotors, and longer stopping distances — exactly what you don’t want. If you want the best brake rotors, here’s what to look for: • The best brake rotors are made from high-carbon G3000 cast iron • They match the carmaker’s plate thickness • They duplicate the carmaker’s cooling vane … Read More
