Talk about aftermarket Toyota Solara Gen 1-1.5 upgrades.

Have u checked your rotors lately? (Uneven surface, too worn, uneven wear on brake pads?)

Yes recently

I am not sure where you would have it done for a Toyota, this link (and a ton more) was sent to me because I am signed up for my Volvo.

Why did the rotors warp? Because the car is too heavy and the rotors are too small. They overheat too easily.

Brembo blanks are not better than OEM Toyota ones. It's pointless if you are paying a similar price for them.

^^ not true!
rotors warp cus people people use bad resurfacing jobs or bad brakes or don't resurface rotors when replacing brakes, and other reasons but not the ones you listed!


Right, when you apply pressure to an overheated rotor, you can warp it. You resurface it and shave away more material, lowering the total mass and surface area, the rotors will overheat and warp even faster.

Heat needs mass to be stored and needs a large surface area to discipate. Stock size rotors have neither and it gets worse when you resurface it.
