I fucking bought new rotors once, the car had done 200000km and rotors were $300 i think for the whole set. looked nice but i swear they were the SAME fucking thickness. they appear to last forever
so before i waste my money again. do rotors really need replacing after losing 2mm of thickness over 200000km? keep in mind brake pads are 8mm thick each side of the rotor and some people wear them down to basically nothing so u have 12mm of play it seems.
solid rotors, not slotted or lightweight or anything.
Juan Mitchell
As long as the pad won't fall out when it wears down, you'll be fine. Also realise that less steel means that it's ability to store heat is reduced.
Nicholas Rogers
i am a boilermaker and u just made me realise that the thermal expansion rate of steel would make the rotors expand the more you brake. so more braking means hotter rotors which means THICKER rotors and better braking performance
Joseph Clark
like .1% but thats like 6 months of wear
Angel Williams
>hotter rotors give better performance Lmao.
Evan Hernandez
thats why you are a boilermaker and not a race engineer.
Jack Ortiz
Good post Am mech fitter, don't mind boilys but are definitely lesser beings
Evan Reyes
>4 lug >that caliper appearance
your rotors are lasting forever cause your toyota is light as shit (I have one as well). And as long as you keep buying the "quiet" pads then the rotors should be good for ages
Samuel Morris
lmao I did a fitter post trade course as a fucking joke last year and now doing associate degree in engineering mechatronics and another cert IV engineering (instrumentation) on thursday nights just for fun. other than you faggots probably not even knowing post trade education is a thing cause youre too fucking stupid is me getting a post trade certificate in a course made for fitters without even having any recognition of prior learning signed off showing youre also fucking useless at anything other than converting imperial to metric off the top of your empty fucking head

As a mechanical engineer and now working aerospace engineer the only thing you're fitting and turning is your fist up the asshole of the english language.
Fuck off you presumptuous fag, go smoke another pack of winnie blues and act more hard.
Julian Young
Don't be upset mr boiler installer. But you'll be a boiler installer propably because not only you sprout total bullshit with total authority but you refuse the opportunity to learn.

Classic student.

I remember being like that feeling like I was some hardcore motherfucker since I got a cum laude and then in real world I realized I knew jack shit. A year on the job taught me more than 4 years of uni

>refuse opportunity to learn >but does post trade study in every engineering field wtf lmao

Your brake/rotor wear has nothing to do with how much you drive.
Matthew Thomas
A plane mechanic (which is "aerospace engineer" without glitter sprinkled on it) is one of the worst mechanical maintenance jobs in the entire world. What's it like getting paid fuck all?
Landon Evans
>makes retarded claim >"mate youre retarded" >"heres a page long broken english rant with my middle finger covering up my name on a cat massaging degree. This irrefutably proves that I know everything because of my extensive experience from packaging boilers" yeah.
Ian Morgan
>doesnt have a cert IV in engineering
Luis Cooper
>solid rotors Hmmm, is this typical? All the rotors I've had in my cars had vents inside them so that air could flow outwards due to "centrifugal force". Picture of carelessly over worn rotor shows what I mean by the air cavity inside a rotor.
Jaxon Perry
yes thats solid aka one piece rotors. You can also get two piece ones which significantly reduce weight and improve brake cooling but they are usually way more expensive.

Lmao no, just no. Aerospace Engineers don't fix planes, they design them. I'm an AE student and I wouldn't be hired if I applied for a plane mechanics job because I didn't go to trade school for a degree in that. However, I am applying to Boeing, NASA, and Lockheed-Martin and I've already had an interview with NASA for a new satellite project that will be monitoring weather patterns that I might get to work on the structural analysis for.

Ayden Russell
just replace the brake pads in time and your discs will literally last forever "brand" brake pads are worth the money, they won't eat your discs up that quickly. of course gentle driving, moderate breaking will keep your brakes in a good condition for a long time.
I usually use up 3 sets of brake pads By the 4th time I replace the discs too. Since I basically drive a taxi model parts are dirt cheap

>gentle driving, moderate breaking will keep your brakes in a good condition for a long time Except that once in awhile, people think I'm brake checking them if I'm going down a hill. I will apply brakes moderately every so often instead of getting to the bottom and jamming the brakes on hard. One time, some high school age kid with his friends (they looked really young, can't be more than freshman in college) in their new lexus SUV was really pissed at me. He thought I was brake checking him on the hill when I wasn't. It's his fault too for tailgating me on a hill of all things.
Sometimes, prudent driving is not worth doing when some dork insists I just let the car drift down the hill at whatever speed the incline lets his Lexus go.
Grayson Bennett
Looks good. That driver converted his vented rotor into a solid rotor. He's getting his money's worth out of that rotor like any frugal driver on Veeky Forums would do.
Camden Lewis
Because I like to imagine that I'm somehow I'm having an effect on that person's opinion and somehow making the world less ignorant. It's a fantasy.

I work on space vehicles, not planes you fuck. Try again.

Jesus christ I'm on fire today, pasted my own post link. Anyway comment stands
Jaxson Richardson
glad there's a thread on this topic, I was thinking of buying this full set of rotors and pads on ebay for only $125 usd, seems too good to be true but apparently they are made to Japenese JIS D-4411 Industrial Standard. does anyone know anything about them?
Brandon Moore
Looks like Chinese garbage.
Jackson Hall
yeah your probably right, I found some RDA ones for only an extra 50 bucks, Ill get those. thanks
Jordan Clark
>JIS D-4411 some kind of standard for brake lining and pads, and if you want to know more anywhere you have to pay a pretty penny, so to the consumer, its means shit all.
