Looked in this forum to see if any one has had problems with their M35/M45 rotors. Less than 20,000 miles front rotors warped badly - New ceramic pads and turned rotor(s). 32,000 miles and its worse than the first time - New pads and new aftermarket rotors (BAP). Complained to the dealer about having to replace the rotors at 30k and they said the ceramic pads caused the warp(??), OEM is semi-metallic. I then asked the obvious, what about the first 20k? No answer. Now that the fronts are all new I can feel that the rear(s) are warped also and after looking at the rear pads they're almost gone! Rear brake job at 30k Anyone else with similar issues? Or do I just shorten my wife's right leg? Thanks

Shorten the left one too for aesthetic reasons.

Yea, a real quick solution to your problem is to make your wife start paying for the repairs. You will see how fast her driving habits change.

So she cannot reach the brake pedal easily and stops pressing it all the time!

I figure if she only has one short leg maybe she can get handicap plates and we can park upfront for all the ballgames! My wife spends more on her weekly trips to Victoria Secrets for underware than a break job. She also makes twice what I do so money won't work.

Seriously nobody’s had warped rotors in the first 20k?
