Hi,
I have a RWD 2010 EX, and my OEM rotors are warped after 40k miles. (I'm hard on brakes.) Any recommendations for upgraded rotors/pads? Anyone tried the Power Stop K112?
Thanks,
Jon

Re: Front rotors/pads EX35
wow! I guess you are hard on them!
My RWD has about 75K but still on original rotors. I do feel a very very very slight warp at very low speeds. Nothing at high speeds yet.
I changed my pads to Akebono and very happy with them. There are some good rotor suggestions here if you search. Check the G37 side too.

I believe the member here CustomLowz has them on his EX now. He recently posted in another thread about them: my-not-so-fun-rear-brake-job-t604439.html#p6677969
If you want to know more details about how they perform i'd ask him.
What's good about the Powerstop kit you're looking at is that the tolerances for runout and thickness variation are pretty tight. Those kinds of things contribute to shaking during hard braking. I'd also look into other things to help prevent the problem from returning; like cleaning rust off the hub, not over tightening the lug nuts, indexing the rotor to the hub, and not sitting at a complete stop (slowly creeping forward) after a long or hard braking event. I do all of those except the rotor indexing, as I don't have a dial indicator.
I personally like Akebono pads and Raybestos advanced technology rotors, but I am not sure how they would work for you. I've only had them on the front for maybe 4,000 miles and I don'the think i'm as hard on the brakes as you are.
