Keep warping rotors, im really frustrated!, Getting warped for the 3rd time Options

[eliaz]

Ok, so having replaced my front discs for the third time I can notice that the rotors is being warped again. I have only driven 250 miles with my new set and I can now feel that they (or maybe just one of them) are slightly warped. I replaced the new discs with OEM toyota discs and EBC greenstuff pads. I have noticed that the right disc is much warmer that the left one. Ok, so I thought that the caliper is stuck somehow. I have overhauled all four calipers about 6 months ago. Today I took out the caliper and both sylinders, all seems fine and the slide without any prob. I can push them into the caliper body with just my fingers! I tried a testrun without no braking at all and I can say for sure that the right disk are warm (let's say about 115F), so the caliper are not retreating fully? Not working 100%? I have no more ideas, I really hope someone can help me. I am getting really frustrated

Edit: Oh, I've been really careful when braking.

All brakes and rotors will eventually become warped over the usage of braking left and right.

Not after 250 miles?

Do not expect the celicas to have perfect braking capabilites, they were meant to be economy cars especially the ST USA versions.

I have the 3S-GE powered GT

I suggest that when you put on new rotors and brakes you should step very hard on them every now and then to break them in.

i've heard the opposite.

I was really careful with my new set, braked very light in the brake-in period of the pads.

I just replaced my front discs and found that the pads were only braking on the outside half inch of the disc, this caused alot of vibration but now they are worn to use most of the disc the vibration has gone, can you see if the pads are using all the disc?

I think I had the same issue with my last set.

yeah just the wheel well to the caliper

I'll try to replace the brake hoses on both sides with some performance ones and see if I get a good result.
I'll also try the less accurte way to find out if the hub is bent somehow.
