hmmm... alright i'll just bring them in to autozone cause i think thats where i bought them... How did u know the pads were warping your rotors? My rotors aren't smooth at all when i run my nail down it it feels very lined....

After installing brand new rotors with new pads you drive 3k and steering wheel shakes at high speeds. That means pads are too ruff on the rotors. Every pad will eventually cause that, but with such a small mileage on the setup. It also depends on driving habits, but on average my rotors last me 2 set of pads.

OEM here, GS430. If it aint broken then why fix it.
This set must be the old batch, because i get tons of dust this go around. I change my brakes out every 18 months maybe. I'm pretty rough on my car. Rear pads have been changed out twice since 2008. Rotors all around, once.
