Re: Brake pad contact question
I would suggest replacing your pads if they have 10% left
But if those are the fronts they shouldn't have anything to do with your rears. Wait a little while and see if the pad seats into the "unwarped" rotors better.
If you had warped rotors with the pads there is a possibility they were just wearing funny because of that.
As far as the 80 - 20 stops, I have the same problem, but I think it is because I am using crappy rotors/pads. Oreilly brand to be exact.
It is just getting very hot and its not so much "dangerous" as it can glaze your pads/rotors, so it could become a "glass on glass" braking scenario. Glass on Glass doesn't stop very well.
Basically when that happens you are probably going to experience a lot of brake fade, but as long as that is not your normal stop and you do that very rarely, you'll be ok.
What pads/rotor combination are you using?
Hope this helps!
