The article goes into great detail about the transference of material from the pads to the rotors, after installing them as new. What most people erroneously believe is a warped rotor is actually a build up of pad material to the rotor, causing the pedal to pulse when braking. Coming to a full stop whilst the brakes are new and hot can cause this. The article also talks about how the composition of the iron changes as it goes through heating and cooling cycles. Really, read the article. It is very informative. http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers/-warped-brake-disc-and-other-myths Rick _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
