IS-F Brake Rotor Lifetime
#46
Just starting feeling the warp vibration again. This set of Raysbestos and stop tech pads is only 1500 miles old. This is my 5th set of rotors on this 08 IS-F. Car has 53k miles. This is getting pretty frustrating. I have reset pads, I've had lug torque checked and rechecked. I have had the hub looked at. I am out of ideas and running through $$$ like crazy. The dealer is useless other than offering to replace rotors for about $1500. This is a daily driver, highway almost exclusively. The vibration is very noticeable at 75mph, hard to feel stopping from 30mph (for now). What else is there to do? Happily taking suggestions. Thanks
I stopped modifying my car with the ISF because I wanted the engineers to do the work and not some company trying to market cheaper parts for a race car. You have to pay to play. Just my 2 cents.

suggestion........BUY OEM STUFF. It is designed for this car and for what its intended and is usually the best over the broadest spectrum ( nobody lives on the track ). I am one of the very few who hit s the track all the time with my F ( going this saturday again) and oem is excellent for the tracks I have hit. The lexus engineers know a thing or two... it works well.

7k on aset of rotors. LOL do you race downhill at a 45 degree angle . LOL damn dude thats ridiculous. I would have a tech look at your system . Something is wrong or you drive like a bat out of hell

I use OEM rotors and Carbotech pads using extreme braking on a short track and I have never had a warped rotor ever in the 3 years of having my car. I've had cracked rotors for sure but never a wobble in my wheel because of warped rotors

No, but those rotors are very near toast. 28.0 is minimum thickness, and the root (inner part) is the worst place to have a thin rotor.

I changed out my OEM rotors at ~48K miles, and they were still over minimum thickness. If they hadn't started cracking so badly from track use, I could have easily gotten 50-55K out of them. I'm very gentle with my brakes on the street, but I punish them at the track!

If you buy our 2-P replacement rotors, chances are you will never need to replace the rings if all you do is street driving. Here they are after about 8 hard track days.
