I have Brembo blanks rotors and I had many problems with them, as they looked as warped when hot. Probably a classic problem with steering wheel shaking when braking from high speeds.
So, now I have new rotors and pads ready on my table, why not to try what the Brembos can stand
.
I tried 3 hard stops from 180-200kph (115-130mph) and what's the result? When I prepared the brakes for this test (get them little hot), the steering wheel shaked, so I thought that my steering wheel will fly out from my window when doing this test. BUT, when the brakes got really hot (red), there was NO shaking till the end of the test!! Even when the brakes cooled, the brakes seem to be fine now
. The pads didn't have any fade during this test (Textar pads, probably not well known in the USA).
WTF is this? Why the brakes shaked when little-hot and didn't vibrate when red-hot? I simply don't understand it. Also, when the rotors can stand this abuse, I think that they can stand everything, so we don't need to worry about them in common traffic ?

So, here is the video (MPG, 6MB):

What do you think?
