850 T rear brake rotor warping shuddering 850

posted by  someone claiming to be fastgroceries on  Fri Jul 11 09:16 CST 2003 [RELATED]

OK...I've had it and I'm ready to try something different.

Vehicle: 96 850 Turbo 2.3L sedan 16" alloy wheels 135K miles

In the 3+ years, I've had to replace the rear rotors twice because of the rotors warping, and the resulting "shudder" of the car at a slow speed stop when the outside temperature is 90 degrees F or higher. I have kept the wheel lugs tourqued to spec, as per recommendations on this board and elsewhere. Still, the rear brakes wear out between 30-40K miles and the car shakes like hell when you do a slow stop in hot weather.

The car is driven over what could be called "extreme" driving conditions: mountains, dirt roads, extreme hot/cold, deep snow in winter.

I've heard that the definition of insanity is "trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results"

So, I'm ready to try drilled and/or slotted rotors and kevlar/ceramic/anything but the stock metallic brake pads.

Should I just replace them again with OEM parts and plan on doing it again in 18 months or try smething different?

What are readers experiences with drilled/slotted rotors and other-than-metallic brake pads?

Manufacturer reccomendations? retailer reccomendations?

Thanks,

fastgroceries
