Any thoughts on Cquence brake rotors?

My second set of stock rotors are already warped. I’m looking for performance rotors that won’t warp easily. I’m not even hard on my brakes

hope you got them replaced under warranty

I did. Now the ones they put in are warped a few thousand miles later.

It's not the rotors, it's the pads. Replace the pads and get the rotors ground or replaced.

Interesting. When my rotors were replaced they told me they replaced the pads also

Right. The OE US compound is ..... marginal? It has a habit of leaving uneven deposits on the rotor, and, IMO, has a major outgassing problem. So replacing the rotor gives you a fresh surface! But, replacing the pads with another set of OE pads just prepares you to do it all over again. It seems like some driving habits are more prone to this than others. I'm at 3k mi and no issues and certainly don't take it easy.
So when I say "replace the pads" I mean "replace with aftermarket". Nick Khar is the only source right now.

My first set were warped by 9000, and I’m at 14k now. I’ve never had this issue with previous vehicles. The only time I’ve had to break in my brakes was when I put track pads on my mustang.

so i had my rotors replaced when the car had about 800 miles on it. they are definitely warped again with about 7500 miles now. it will be interesting to see what they say this time

do you feel it in the pedal? how can you tell?

Yes, you will feel it in the pedal and the steering wheel, basically the hole front end.

It really depends on how bad they're warped.

how about like a vibration at highway speeds?? 65mph+?

You shouldn't feel any vibration until you apply the brakes. If your getting vibration while just driving then you have a wheel out of balance.

I am easy on brakes and I had the "warped" rotor shuddering. Pretty bad actually.
I did 5 or so quick 60-25 moderately hard stops and the shuddering went away.

I now use the brakes hard form time to time and they have stayed fine.

Welcome. I’ve tried to do the same thing, but I still get the shuddering after cruising.

That is just a band aid fix and honestly not something you should be doing at all in order to stop the brake from vibrating when applied.

BTW I've got 2k miles on my brake setup and no vibrations
