Arrow Warped rotors, please help me find a solution!

ok guys i had my rotors replaced like 4 times, 2 times i got acura rotors, third time i got kvr x-drilleds then last time i got some oem spec rotors.. and they all warped. my rotors are so warped now you can see my HIDs go up and down at night, i cant stand it anymore.

PLEASE, tell me what i should do. what rotors / pads or what brake kit to use. And would it be possible to use the brembo package from the new '04 TL ???

help me guys..

Try some Cryogenically treated rotors.

Besides the Acura original rotors, you can find Brembo OEM rotors for the TL on tirerack.com, it will work with the original brake components.

Dude, this really sucks! Maybe you should try some x-drill rotors from irotors.com. I had it for hmm... well, u probably know like 2 months. They are holding up pretty well.

My 2003 TL has 9800 miles on it and I can already feel a vibration when breaking from highway speeds!

ACURA dealer put Comptech power cross drilled rotors on my car after I complained that my rotors had been replaced less than 10K miles ago. No more problem.

I believe all your friend needs is a wheel spacer. I think on the brembo a 5mm will do. Not too sure though. But in any event, you can barely tell when you have a wheel spacer. 5mm extra sticking out won't show at all, unless you're looking for it.
