Brakes Pulsating, Again
The summer before last I had the drums and rotors turned and replaced the pads and shoes, with ceramics up front. Now the pulsating is back and I took my rotors off tonight. Think it will it do me any good to have them turned without replacing the pads? I'm not dropping $60 in pads again after only two years.
I know you're not supposed to run ceramics on stock rotors, but heck i can have them turned every other year for 15 years for the price of Powerslots.

The problem you are running into is that the rotors don't have enough material left to absorb and disipate the heat caused by braking. Plus.. you can only turn a couple times before the thickness is below spec.
I'd suggest a premium rotor like Bendix or Raybestos... You don't need powerslots I honestly don't feel they add enough beyond a premium rotor to justify the cost at all.
