What are the best Rotors for a boosted civic
What are the best Rotors for a boosted civic
I brought my car to the tracks, and after some burn outs and other degenerate activities my rotors are squeaky assuming they warped from all the heat and play
are their rotors specifically designed to prevent warping because the most expensive ones at autozone suck and didnt even last 2 months
thanks !

What kind are you using? Drilled/slotted rotors are designed to dissipate heat but life is reduced dramatically. You may only get 2 months depending on how hard you drive it.

I believe duralast gold rotors, hopefully my breaks aren’t to uneven got both replaced 2 months ago. Should of noticed sooner cus how much break dust was coming on the rims

Re: What are the best Rotors for a boosted civic
what kind of track?
If roadtrack, the pads likely glazed. consider installing one step above pads before heading to track. road track you are not likely to do burn-outs, so don't think it's your case, though.
If drag strip, shouldn't have caused that much issues.
can't remember how to solve that one without changing pads.
stay away from drilled rotors, just search about cracked drilled rotors. Even properly designed ones carry risks

it was a drag strip , with a huge overflow parking lot where we did dumb ****. Sometimes we do highway driving and do some pulls on there me and friends. I do break a bit harder at times but maybe I just had junk rotors or pads.
only driver side squeaks and has excess dust otherside is fine.
is there an easy way to tell if it’s a glazed pad or a rotor issue? --- I know its a rotational squeak, and itll stop once the breaks are being pressed, but makes noise at slow speeds under 20. Breaks n rotors are 2 months new as said, only one side is doing it. and alot of break dust same side

@Blakethesnake I've heard nothing about good things about R1 concepts brakes, but have yet to try them myself. Good performance at a decent price. However, their stock on everything seems to be low af right now.

lift car.
remove wheels
inspect. sometimes it's the BRAKE shield that is bent and making the noise.
